Noah Lyles lit up the track at the Paris Olympics, chasing his gold in the men’s 100 meters, and guess who’s cheering him on? His biggest fans—his family. While Noah is known for his bold and fiery persona on the track, he’s got a soft spot for his loved ones, especially his mom, Keisha Caine Bishop, whom he adores.

Fans know all about the dynamic Lyles brothers—Noah and Josephus, who also have some serious track and field skills. Noah once shared, “Me, my brother, and dad just talked about track, numbers, people, records, all [that] stuff [for like] eight hours of driving.” But here’s a fun twist: Noah’s sister is not just a different vibe from Josephus, she’s also not a fan of track at all!

According to Verge Wiki, Abby Lyles, the younger sister of track and field star Noah Lyles, has her own remarkable story of resilience and family unity. Born into the Lyles family, Abby’s early life was marked by the upheaval of her parents’ divorce. Initially living with her father, Kevin Lyles, she eventually joined her mother, Keisha Caine, and her brothers, Noah and Josephus, in Virginia. This reunion was a pivotal moment for the family, allowing them to rebuild their lives together.

Growing up in the Lyles household, Abby has witnessed all the hard work and glory that propelled her siblings to success. She once shared a picture of the Lyles brothers at a press conference, gushing, “I love seeing my brother at press conferences!” and regularly posts about how impressed she is with Noah’s achievements. Even though she keeps a lower profile compared to her track star siblings, Abby’s all about family support—she joined her mom and Josephus to cheer for Noah in Paris. And here’s a twist: despite being a cheerleader, Noah let slip that Abby’s not exactly into track and field herself!

Abby’s not amused by track and field like her older brothers!

Noah Lyles opened up on the ‘USATF Journey to Gold Zone’ podcast about his track family dynamics and his mental health strategy. When asked how it feels to come from such a track-centric family, Noah didn’t hesitate. “It’s fun. Because all we wanna do is to be around the track. I remember being kids, and we’d go on long trips with my dad, just because we were headed to the track.”

Noah didn’t shy away from discussing his sister’s disinterest in the sport, adding, “And she doesn’t like track or sport. She doesn’t care for it. So I really felt bad for her in that time period.” But he also had a humorous take on their track-obsessed family. “And my poor sister. Me and my brother and my dad just talked about track, numbers, people, records, all stuff like… eight hours of driving,” he said with a huge grin. Despite the track talk overload, he concluded on a high note, emphasizing that being in a track-centric family brings genuine enjoyment and constant conversation about their shared passion.
