Not Noah Lyles but Another Lyles Wins Cupid?s Heart While Making Waves in Track and Field World

After standing atop the podium at the World Athletics Championships, Noah Lyles thundered his way to the finish line at the Zurich Diamond League. However, Lyles isn’t the only one from his clan who often makes it to the spotlight, as his family is no stranger to making headlines in the track and field world. His parents, Kevin Lyles and Keisha Caine, were athletes at Seton Hall University.

The eldest son Noah got the knack of winning gold medals from his dad, while soon after his brother Josephus also joined in. Similar to Noah, his younger brother is the 200-meter men champion. They sat next to one other just a year ago during the USA’s press conference before the World Athletics Championships in Oregon.

The media drew comparative between the one-year-apart siblings who effortlessly compete at similar outdoor sprint distances. When Noah Lyles won 200m heat in Zurich, a shocking update brought his sibling to the forefront of the attention.

Noah Lyles’s brother makes off-track headlines

The annual Diamond series in Zurich came to its conclusion with reigning world champion Noah Lyles winning the 200 meters in 19.80 seconds. However, a surprising disclosure about Josephus engaging in PDA with fellow sprinter Angie Ann?lus came via @trackspice in a tweet.

Interestingly, 6′ 2″ Josephus and 5’6″ Angie both are well-known for their 100 and 200m wins on the tracks. Although the specifics of how they met are still unknown, their photos resembles today’s enigmatic series.

Missouri-born Angie rose to prominence in 2018 when she won the women’s 200m dash at the NCAA Division I Championships. In contrast, her rumored boyfriend Josephus stormed to win the 4×400 m relay gold at the 2014 Junior World Championship in Eugene.

Angie qualified to represent the U.S. at the Doha World Athletics Championships by placing third in the 200 meters at the 2019 U.S. Championships. In the Doha final she finished fourth. Interestingly, on the same Worlds tracks Lyles took home a gold in the 200 m and the 4 x 100 m relay.

A deeper examination of their track multiverse gives some additional information: Recall how Sha’Carri Richardson broke the 100-meter and 200-meter world under-20 records in the NCAA Championships in Austin in 2019.

Then 200m reigning champion Angie won over Richardson in the 200 meter final finishing fourth. Fast forward to now, Richardson and Noah were scurrying towards the finish line. Although a lot has changed over the years, there is one off-track feat that both Lyles’ siblings share.
