Noah Lyles congratulates Hobbs Kessler on breaking road mile world record

Noah Lyles praised his compatriot Hobbs Kessler for his outstanding performance at the Road Running Championships in Riga, Latvia. Kessler, who entered professional running straight out of high school, set a new world record recently by winning the men's road mile world title.

Kessler outpaced a formidable field of competitors, posting a time of 3:56.13, shattering the previous world record of 4:01.21, established by fellow American Sam Prakel in April 2023. The victory also marked Kessler as the inaugural world champion in the road race, an event introduced this year. He narrowly bested Great Britain's Callum Elson, who secured silver in 3:56.41, and Prakel, who claimed bronze with a time of 3:56.43.

To celebrate Kessler's historic achievement, Noah Lyles, a six-time world champion and the 2020 Olympic bronze medalist in the 200m, took to social media to extend his wishes to the 20-year-old.

"Congratulations, @hobbs_kessler, for becoming a World Champion and World Record Holder in the Road Mile," Lyles wrote on X.
