Noah Lyles's explosive year underlines him as the most deserving for the Men's Athlete of the Year Award
Noah Lyles gave everything Track and Field needed this season both on and off-track. While some of the nominees gave only exceptional competition performances, the American speedster showed that an athlete can be an all-rounder, and so he is the most deserving of the Men's Athlete of the Year Award.
Over the 200m, Lyles has been unbeaten the whole season and will surely be keen to extend the winning streak to the Olympic Games next year.
The American was on fire at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary, bagging the 100m title and successfully defending his 200m title. He also led his team to victory in the 4x100m relay.
