Summary
Noah Lyles opened his U.S. championships with a 9.97 heat win at Icahn Stadium, calling it a warm-up as he moved into Friday night’s 100m semifinals.
Sha’Carri Richardson posted 10.90—the fastest women’s first-round time—with all entrants advancing to the semifinals and final later Friday.
Christian Coleman also won his heat in 9.96, while 2025 U.S. champion Kenny Bednarek ran 10.04, setting up a likely Lyles-Bednarek final after their tense 2025 U.S. 200m finish.
New York is hosting the national meet for the first time since 1991, and Lyles can become the first man since 1981 to win three straight U.S. 100m titles after six different recent champions.
