2024 Men’s 100 World Rankings

With a season more solid than his ’23 rise to No. 1, Paris gold medalist Noah Lyles took the top spot once again. (KEVIN MORRIS)

NOAH LYLES, continuing his move from the world’s top 200 runner to its best straightaway sprinter, won 5 of his 6 centuries, topped of course by his Olympic gold. He won the only DL race he entered and had a healthy half-dozen sub-9.90s…

SILVER MEDALIST Kishane Thompson — just 0.005 behind Lyles in Paris — had an exceedingly thin 3 finals on his scorecard but nobody else had a better claim to the No. 2 position…

THE MOST PROMINENT FIGURE on the DL Circuit was Christian Coleman, but he killed his chances with a surprise 4th in the OT and then 2nd in the DL Final…

COLEMAN’S POINTS at No. 3 moved him past some major historical characters in all-time U.S. scoring, breaking a tie with Bobby Morrow at 10 and passing Tyson Gay, Steve Williams, Leroy Burrell & Charlie Greene on his way to No. 6.
