After Noah Lyles Call Out, Fred Kerley Drops a Fresh Warning in Track Style

The United States has been home to some of the most iconic track and field figures in the world. The three-time world champion Fred Kerley surely makes it to the list of legendary American track runners, and he is still doing it in style. The 28-year-old sprinting prodigy is known for his unfiltered persona, just like any other track runner, and his recent comments on USATF’s unbiased decisions for the World Indoor Championships went viral.

His compatriot Noah Lyles, who also doesn’t hold back from speaking his heart out, was quick to respond post-the 4×400-meter race during the latter event in Glasgow and stated, “He could be here, but he ain’t.” Following this, Kerley has now dropped a fresh update on his social media, and the Olympian has left the fans to decode the cryptic message behind the post.

Fred Kerley has something pertinent to share

The San Antonio native took it to Instagram and posted a reel of himself sweating it out on the track, and the video has left the fans intrigued because of the aesthetics of it. “I got my smile back,” is what he wrote in the caption, while the track and field star is depicted holding his Asics spikes as if they were a phone, engaging in a playful conversation where he humorously refers to himself as “the greatest.” The Tokyo Olympics silver medalist also says “no more” when asked about the world record as the video moves further.

The video can also be taken as a probable sign of his return to the track, as he seems quite energetic in the clip, and his fans must be waiting for him to hit the track once again. If he does, it would be interesting to see him alongside Noah Lyles, as Kerley wasn’t too happy with Lyles inclusion in the 4×400 team at the World Indoor Championships. Both individuals rank among the top American track athletes presently, demonstrating remarkable performance throughout their careers.

Comparing the trajectories of their careers

Fred Kerley, who used to run the 400 meters and later transitioned to the shorter domains, has achieved remarkable success in the latter categories as well. In a head-to-head rivalry, Kerley has dominated Lyles in the 100-meter dash, while in the 200-meter discipline, which is also considered Lyles’ territory, the world has seen him defeat Kerley, making the rivalry even more interesting.

The 60-meter dash is an event where Kerley has yet to prove himself and he has everything in him, which has been demonstrated at several competitions. Now the two are expected to achieve Olympic excellence for their nation, despite whatever they have to say about each other. Now the Paris Olympics 2024 will be a spot for them to prove themselves in a much more competitive manner.
