In the realm of track and field, emerging talents like Noah Lyles, Sha’Carri Richardson, and German sprinter Alica Schmidt are breaking records and revolutionizing fashion. Schmidt is well known for her collaboration with Hugo Boss, while Richardson is seen as a reminder of the legendary Flo-Jo with her colorful nails. Lyles, on the other hand, disrupted the internet a few days back by walking on the ramp in the Milan Fashion Week. The sprinting community is experiencing a surge in style, with these rising stars setting new standards with every passing day.

Meanwhile, the fashion spotlight recently turned to Jaydon Hibbert, the youngest Jamaican sprinter, honored with the Bowerman Award. This prompted a congratulatory note from Lyles himself. Now a social media update highlights that Hibbert is equally suave when it comes to the fashion runway.

A post on December 17th from Triple Jumper Hibbert showcases his recent moment when he received the Bowerman Award. It features the sprinter killing the ramp walk with his quirky wear and confident walk. In addition to this, the post caption reads, “HIBBY (handshake emoji) RUNWAYS”. Seen as a rising champion on the tracks, Hibbert also seems to have got in him the fashion talent of the legends as well.

Interestingly, the cherry on the top for the athlete was the applause from Noah Lyles. His words seemed like a blessing to the first freshman who had entered the track realm. Take a look at what Lyles added.

The Bowerman Award, presented annually by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, is named after Coach Bill Bowerman and stands as the highest collegiate honor in track and field. Hibbert secured the award by surpassing top American decathlete Kyle Garland and Germany’s Leo Neugebauer and concludes the USTFCCCA convention. This got praise from Lyles on social media who wrote, “Congratulations @_wunderkid__ on winning the Bowerman!”

Hibbert’s record-breaking performance at the NCAA Division I Indoor Championships and subsequent improvements, despite facing challenges at the World Athletics Championships, very well justifies the praise from Lyles. Now that Hibbert has shown a glimpse of his fashion talent as well, it would be interesting to watch if that also gets a thumbs up from Noah Lyles!
