Tyreek Hill Dominates Brother of Olympic Star in 100m Sprint Face-off

Austin, Texas, United States - Tyreek Hill, the electrifying wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, recently took part in the ATX Sprint Classic in Austin, Texas, where he faced off against Josephus Lyles, the younger brother of Olympic star Noah Lyles. Hill’s time of 10.10 seconds in the 100-meter dash kept him in the spotlight, despite finishing fourth overall. Notably, this was not only a showcase of Hill’s speed but also part of an ongoing rivalry with Lyles, which has been the buzz of the sports community.
Originally, a highly anticipated race between Hill and Noah Lyles was set to take place on June 16, but it was canceled due to personal reasons. As Hill himself stated in an interview, there’s “ongoing discussions” about scheduling a new date for this showdown, possibly at the end of the NFL offseason. While the race against Noah didn’t happen, Hill’s competition with Josephus was the next best thing. And let’s not forget, Hill beat his opponent in this bout, but still found himself a second behind eventual first-place finisher Lawrence Johnson.
Highlighting the Rivalry
In a playful post-race celebration, Hill took to Instagram to joke that “Noah (lil bro) Could Never,” adding fuel to the already fiery rivalry. His candid feelings were also shared during an appearance on Johnny Manziel’s show „Glory Daze,“ where Hill acknowledged the competitive tension, saying, “I f**king hate Noah Lyles,” while still expressing a measure of respect for the Olympic champion.
This race was Hill’s second major competition recently; only weeks earlier, he clocked a personal-best time of 10.15 seconds at the Last Chance Sprint Series in Los Angeles, coming in first and surpassing DK Metcalf’s old mark of 10.37 seconds. Notably, Hill has consistently demonstrated his athletic versatility as he heads into his tenth NFL season and fourth year with the Dolphins.
Aiming for Glory
As the Dolphins look to rebound from a disappointing 8-9 season, Hill’s commitment to the team seems to strengthen. Last year’s efforts saw him finishing with 959 receiving yards and six touchdowns. With a yearly earning of $30 million, Hill ranks as the seventh highest-paid wide receiver in the league, showcasing that his prowess isn’t limited to just the end zones but extends to the track as well.
While Hill’s speed and agility are well-known on the football field, his venture into track racing has opened up new conversations about his legacy. So, whether it’s on grass or on the track, Hill’s competitive spirit is certainly not waning. Fans can only hope for the chance to see that highly anticipated race against Noah Lyles sooner rather than later.
