The Noah Lyles Foundation, established to empower youth through the advancement of health and wellness, is a testament to Noah and his brother Josephus Lyles’ commitment to giving back. Their upcoming event, the UA/Lyles Foundation Invitational, slated for May 19, 2024, at Clarksburg High School in Maryland, exemplifies this dedication. In a recent post on X, the world champion announced, “DMV we coming your way! P.s yes we will be there 😉” Noah Lyles and his younger brother Josephus have embodied the spirit of giving back through their foundation, The Lyles Brothers Sports Foundation (LBSF), established in 2020. Committed to empowering young people through health and wellness initiatives, the LBSF provides motivation and financial support through collaborative efforts with local, national, and global partners. The foundation’s ethos extends beyond mere financial support; it delves into crucial aspects, such as mental health awareness, college preparation, anti-bullying initiatives, and stress management. As we reflect on this noble effort, did you know this is not the first time the Lyles brothers have done a special deed for school kids? INITIATIVES BY THE LYLES BROTHERS SPORTS FOUNDATION Hailing from T.C. Williams High School, now Alexandria City High School, in Alexandria, Virginia, the Lyles brothers have consistently demonstrated their dedication to uplifting others. In the past, at the “Overcoming Obstacles” event on February 28, 2023, the Lyles brothers shared their journey and challenges. Previously, they even hosted inspiring Noah Lyles‘ “Meet & Greet” events, held on September 7, 2021, at Alexandria City High School in Virginia, and on September 9, 2021, at Union Church in Glen Burnie, Maryland, enriching the lives of countless children in their community and beyond. As Noah Lyles paves his way to the Paris Olympics 2024, fans applaud Lyles for taking the time with such initiatives to build a brighter future for generations to come.

<h2><b>Josephus Lyles: 2024 net worth, stats, early life and more</b></h2>
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1918242" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/josephus-lyles.jpeg" alt="Josephus Lyles Noah Lyles" width="225" height="225" />
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Josephus Lyles?</b></h2>
Josephus Lyles, who is an American sprinter, is the younger brother of Noah Lyles. He won the silver medal for over 400m at the Pan-Am Junior Championships and is one of the top 200m sprinters. He is currently chasing his Olympic dream.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Josephus Lylesâ€™s early life</b></h2>
When the younger Lyles brother first started in athletics, he initially competed as both a 400m and 800m runner. However, he eventually decided to step away from track, uncertain whether he would pursue a path similar to his brother Noah's or follow in his parents' footsteps. His mother, Keisha Caine Bishop, had been a former NCAA 4x400m relay champion, and his father, Kevin Lyles, had contributed to the U.S. winning gold in the 4x400m at the 1993 Summer Universiade.

Upon his return to track while attending T.C. Williams in Alexandria (now Alexandria City High School), the younger Lyles shifted his focus to the sprint events.

In 2014, he faced setbacks, nursing a twisted ankle while on crutches. Two years later, during the USA Olympic team trials, he opted out due to a torn right hip flexor, coinciding with his brother narrowly missing the team. Meanwhile, Josephus, dealing with persistent hip and chest issues, also struggled. Despite his determination to qualify for the 2019 World Championships, he fell short at the U.S. Trials, unable to progress past the semi-finals, while his brother secured a spot in Doha by winning the 200m.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Josephus Lylesâ€™s net worth 2024</b></h2>
As of 2024, Josephus Lyles's estimated net worth is around $4 million. Â While he made a lot of money due to his career as an athletes and through some major wins, it all kickstarted for him when he signed an eight-year deal with Adidas in 2016.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Josephus Lylesâ€™s career timeline</b></h2>

Josephus Lyles

Josephus Lyles: 2024 net worth, stats, early life and more Who is Josephus Lyles? Josephus Lyles, who is an American sprinter, is the younger brother of Noah Lyles. He won the silver medal for over 400m at the Pan-Am Junior Championships and is one of the top 200m sprinters. He is currently chasing his Olympic dream. Josephus Lylesâ€™s early life When the younger Lyles brother first started in athletics, he initially competed as both a 400m and 800m runner. However, he eventually decided to step away from track, uncertain whether he would pursue a path similar to his brother Noah&#8217;s or follow in his parents&#8217; footsteps. His mother, Keisha Caine Bishop, had been a former NCAA 4x400m relay champion, and his father, Kevin Lyles, had contributed to the U.S. winning gold in the 4x400m at the 1993 Summer Universiade. Upon his return to track while attending T.C. Williams in Alexandria (now Alexandria City High School), the younger Lyles shifted his focus to the sprint events. In 2014, he faced setbacks, nursing a twisted ankle while on crutches. Two years later, during the USA Olympic team trials, he opted out due to a torn right hip flexor, coinciding with his brother narrowly missing the team. Meanwhile, Josephus, dealing with persistent hip and chest issues, also struggled. Despite his determination to qualify for the 2019 World Championships, he fell short at the U.S. Trials, unable to progress past the semi-finals, while his brother secured a spot in Doha by winning the 200m. Josephus Lylesâ€™s net worth 2024 As of 2024, Josephus Lyles&#8217;s estimated net worth is around $4 million.

However, it was not a one-sided battle for Lyles, as he garnered support from his track and field counterparts, Fred Kerley and Rai Benjamin.
