That sort of experience — any sort of experience — appears more of the exception than the rule on the track team the United States is sending to Tokyo next month. He, too, is heading to his first Olympics after winning the final event of the 10-day trials — the men's 200 meters. Lyles fully believes the team can top the 32 medals it won at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games. Shot putter Ryan Crouser, 28, broke a 31-year-old world record on the first day of trials. Knighton, who's from Florida, broke an under-20 200 record that once belonged to the Jamaican sensation, finishing in 19.84 seconds.
