For months, fans have been on edge, caught up in the whirlwind of talks and whispers about a dream 100m showdown between Miami Dolphins’ speed demon Tyreek Hill and Olympic champ Noah Lyles. The buildup was electric, with both athletes teasing the race across social media, promising a clash of titans. But just days ago, heartbreak hit, personal reasons and complications forced the cancellation, leaving fans  gutted. Yet, Hill wasn’t done. With Noah out, he turned his sights to another Lyles, lining up against Josephus, the Olympic gold medalist’s brother, at the ATX Classic. The stage was set for a new chapter.

Fast forward to Saturday, June 28, 2025, and the ATX Classic 100m prelims in Texas became the most anticipated race of the season. Hill, rocking that Dolphins swagger, took to the track with a grin that screamed confidence. Noted by TrackGazette post, he clocked an impressive 10.10 seconds with a 2.7 wind assist, finishing 4th. Lawrence Johnson 🇺🇸 claimed the win in 10.00s, while Josephus lagged in 5th with 10.25s. That image of Hill, gloved and beaming, tells the story, proof this NFL star can hang with track elites.

Hill’s performance wasn’t just a run; it was a statement, outpacing a Lyles with minimal track prep. Now, fans are left marveling at his versatility, a former high school track star turned NFL icon now flexing on the oval. With Noah sidelined, the question lingers, can this heat up the pressure for a future face-off? The narrative’s shifting, and Hill’s proving he’s more than just football fast. What will Noah do next to reclaim his spotlight?

As the results began coming, the internet began erupting. Fans online were quick to react. But the real heat came next—will Noah step up to reclaim his family’s honor? Well, the chatter’s heating up. It’s clear the pressure’s on Noah to face Hill head-on. With Tyreek proving his speed, what’s next for this brewing rivalry? Meanwhile track community is undecided over the whole scenario shaping up.

Tyreek Hill outruns Noah Lyles’ brother, igniting calls for Olympic champ to step up

Man, the ATX Classic had fans buzzing, and the reactions are rolling in thick and fast!

“Good to hear! Hill a beast! Track and field ppl just need to stop hating on him just cuz he plays football,” a fan posted, reacting to Tyreek Hill’s 10.10s (2.7 wind assist) finish. The fan’s defense stems from Hill’s legit track creds, high school bests of 10.19s (100m) and 20.14s (200m), and his NFL speed, silencing critics who question his track legitimacy. “That’s actually very impressive,” another fan noted, highlighting Hill’s feat as a part-time track athlete against pros, reinforcing his 4th-place run’s impact. These set the stage. Can Noah Lyles ignore this challenge?

“Noah won’t race him so he beat his brother,” a fan tweeted, referencing the canceled Noah-Hill 60m race from mid-June 2025, where “complications” and “personal reasons” scrapped it. Hill’s 10.10s over Josephus, Noah’s sibling, adds fuel, taunting, “Noah could never.” “There goes one Lyles, man, get it together, the honor of track is at stake here, don’t let us down,” another urged, tying it to Noah’s Olympic 9.79s title defense, pressuring him to face Hill.

“Got cooked. He couldn’t win his series and plans to compete with Noah Lyles, who is an Olympic champion,” a fan jabbed, noting Josephus’ 5th-place flop versus Hill’s rise, per race data. “I knew Tyreek would beat Josephus but at least he didn’t win the race, that would’ve been worse,” a cautious fan admitted, relieved Hill trailed Johnson’s 10.00s. Lastly, “lol for agenda to continue, he’s gonn scream that he beat Noah’s brother, which is valid 😂😂,” a fan laughed, acknowledging Hill’s strategic Lyles scalp. With this heat, will Noah finally race?
