Eleven Teenage Boys Prospects For The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games


Athlete: Josephus Lyles
School: T.C. Williams, VA
Graduation Year: 2016
Event: 400m

Noah Lyles' younger brother, Josephus, planned to compete in the 400m at the U.S. Olympic Trials before an injury halted his outdoor track season in early May. Josephus is one of few athletes in the nation who can defeat Noah and has great range, as he won the 60m at indoor nationals this year (6.65 PB) and took runner-up honors at the IAAF World Youth (U18) Championships in the 400m last summer (45.46 PB). Josephus, like Noah, signed with adidas last month. As he regains form, look for him to rise quickly to the nation's top ranks at the senior level.
