Lyles took home gold in the 100-meter sprint in Paris this summer, retaining his title as the world’s fastest man. He won bronze in the 200-meter sprint. Due to a covid-19 diagnosis, he bowed out of the 4×100 relay.

Attendees are asked to RSVP, but walk-ins will be accepted. Limited Parking will be available at the Alexandria City High School garage, with overflow parking at First Baptist Church of Alexandria. Another option is DASH Bus routes 31 and 36 A/B.
