Larry Eder on his 19.94 run at 200 meters, where his brother, Josephus Lyles, went 20.34, a new PB for Josephus.
The meet we discussed was the last US meet prior to the Herculis EBS Meeting Monaco, held on 8/14/2020.
On that day, Noah Lyles went 19.76 WL and Josephus went 20.30, another PB! He built a big lead coming down the stretch, with younger brother taking second. A dream run in Monaco by the Lyles brothers.
