“I’d like to see track meets with other athletes from other sports and even other stars showing up. I’d like to be able to see my personal goal this year come to fruition – I have a plan for this year and even though it’s going to be the very baby start of it, I’d like to see growth in it.

“I’d definitely like to see more walk ins – now that people have seen them, I feel that we can actually organise it a lot better and find the track meets that want to partner up with it. And let’s get some track meets in some major cities in the US – that’s truly what I want to see,” Lyles added.
