Richardson, Lyles Win US 100m Titles at Icahn Stadium
Sha’Carri Richardson won her third US national title in the women’s outdoor 100m at Icahn Stadium with a time of 10.77 seconds, while Noah Lyles claimed the men’s 100m national title in 9.79 seconds. Both athletes had been working to rebound from recent setbacks, with Lyles coming off a Diamond League defeat and Richardson after a narrow Prefontaine Classic loss, and both advanced smoothly through the rounds to win the titles. In the opening rounds, Lyles posted 9.97 seconds in his heat (behind Christian Coleman’s 9.96), and Richardson led the women’s heats with 10.90 seconds as Melissa Jefferson-Wooden focused on the 200m. The championships served as a proving ground ahead of global meets, with Coleman and Bednarek also posting strong times and advancing to later rounds, and Richardson entering the finals as a favorite given Jefferson-Wooden’s absence from the 100m. The event underscored a return to form for both stars on a fast Icahn Stadium track, highlighted by Lyles’ momentum and Richardson’s bid to maintain her senior title streak.
