Fred Kerley aims a slight dig at Noah Lyles for his participation at the New Balance Grand Prix appearance.
Olympic 100m bronze medallist Fred Kerley has taken a swipe at Noah Lyles after his participation at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston.
Olympic 100m champion Lyles cruised to victory in 60m, beating Bahama’s Terrence Jones and Italy’s Marcell Jacobs who came in second and third respectively.
Noah Lyles’ journey to the top has not been without challenges but with support from his parents, he has risen above the struggles. Pulse Sports details everything you need to know about his parents.
Over the years, Noah Lyles and Fred Kerley have gone head-to-head, whether directly or through subtle digs, and the tension is far from over. Even though Lyles’ win in Boston was impressive, Fred Kerley had something to say.
Via a shared story on Instagram, the three-time world champion implied: “Indoor is indoor. The real dogs come and play outdoors.”

Kerley wasn’t outright calling out Lyles, but anyone who’s been following their rivalry knows exactly what he meant. It’s a subtle jab, but one that adds some heat to their ongoing competition.
Last year, Fred Kerley turned up the heat in his rivalry with Noah Lyles, taking things to a whole new level with a brutal warning on Instagram Live. He warned Lyles to stop mentioning his name or risk tensions rising when they meet at any track event.
Their rivalry has something to do with their personality traits, as Lyles once mentioned. What is going through Fred’s head is yet to be known. But one thing is known for sure: he is ending up with the shorter end of the stick in this rivalry.
Despite both being Americans, their relationship remains strictly professional. And with the 2025 outdoor season starting in March, things are about to get even more intense.
