Overview
- Hill clocked a wind-assisted 10.10 seconds in the 100m prelim at the ATX Sprint Classic on June 28, finishing fourth behind Lawrence Johnson’s 10.00s win.
- He edged out Josephus Lyles, who ran 10.25 seconds, marking Hill’s second personal best in officially sanctioned events after a 10.15s finish in Los Angeles earlier this month.
- The much-hyped race against Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles was canceled on June 16 due to “complications” and “personal reasons,” and no new date has been announced.
- Social media and Hill’s own taunts, including a challenge to streamer IShowSpeed, have amplified demands for Lyles to honor the original matchup.
- Hill’s successive sprint meet performances underscore his transition from NFL speedster to competitive sprinter seeking validation against elite track athletes.
