Who Will Make the USA Men's 100m Team to the 2025 World Champs?

[@TheFinalLeg]

Just for clarity: Yes, I removed certain comments in reference to Fred Kerley. I don't mean anything to those who left the comments, but it's out of respect for the situation. A note that earlier this week I had already scheduled this video to be released today (same time I released the 100m world predictions as this is from that same conversation). Thanks for watching and appreciate ya for understanding 💯 Also, no, I wont be making a video about Fred Keley's current situation🙏🏾

[@distanceman8147]

Congratulations on the collaboration coach and Anderson. I frequent both channels. Love your work fellas!

[@MattAnyiwo]

Both of your Track content has improved tremendously! Especially since collaborating with one another more often ❤️‍🔥 KEEP THE GREAT WORK GOING !!

[@TheHuskyK9]

The next one up (imo) is Christian Miller. He consistently ran mid-to-low 9.9s in the 100m, and with the coach change, we don't know if he'll be better, but we at least know his floor

[@kpat3052]

We need to see it first. Time will tell.

We'll be talking about 2025 Coleman like we talk about 2015 Gat and 2022 Shelly. Nobody is stopping him from making those teams. Nobody! #MitchellMagic

Well the problem is mentally for him if he has fixed that then anything is possible.

[@jaden5493]

I have CC, Fred, and Trayvon. I think that kenny will have a good race that day but wont be fast enough yet for the 9.76 runners because im expecting for all of them to be in prime form again. Trayvon will be a wild card but I think his indoor season will make or break in terms of public opinion. Unfortunately (without getting into it) Fred is also a wild card now so we'll just have to hope he will be okay. I trust coleman's coaching switch enough to be confident in him more than any other US athlete right now to make the team.

[@kpat3052]

Fred has a challenge. That dude will be fine. That situation does not make him a wildcard. Trayvon has a long road back post injury/surgery. We have to see where he is because he has been struggling for the last several years and will not be at his previous form. Kenny has been super consistent. He will be there before Brommell.

[@michellaraharisoa6909]

Coleman- Bednarek - Hicklin. It will be team star athletics

[@AthleticsEditz]

Thoughts on the Fred Kerley situation? I get it if you don’t want to get political but I was just wondering… and also how might it affect, if at all, his 2025 season?!

[@dwightlove3704]

Some clown on Twitter was saying that he attacked the cops and there is footage of him being attacked by multiple people aka Rodney King.

[@khumokwezimashapa2245]

Me personally. If Fred didn't take any major physical injuries. I doubt it'll effect him. Mentally I think he'll be fine, because he's got that dog in him. Plus it's Jan. If he did get hurt, I'm sure he'd have enough time to recover before the season starts assuming he's not doing indoors.

[@dwightlove3704]

@khumokwezimashapa2245 We will never know what he is going to go through after this he is human after all

[@khumokwezimashapa2245]

@@dwightlove3704 True. Just hope he's okay after all this

[@realalbertan]

If he has to surrender his passport as part of his bail it will have a major impact.

[@AllInTheGame01]

Regardless of times/making a US Team, more important to see guys who keep getting injured just come back in '25 & have a full season w/o hopefully breaking down again; Trayvon, Ronnie, Marvin, Cravont, Eli, Micah & Terrance. Based on the '24 season in terms of realistically being able to cause an upset to Fred, Kenny & CC, only really looking at Courtney Lindsey & Christian Miller as being able to do that. Another qn is will all 4 Men who end up going to Tokyo end up making the new 9-Lane 100m Final?! Feel more confident with that happening in the 200m Final than the 100m Final!

[@TheFinalLeg]

Completely forgot about Eli Hall. Man he has so much talent and I think could really be in the mix if he is able to get healthy. Trayvon is the ultimate wild card in that, if healthy, he could beat everyone at USAs. Regarding Tokyo, I think it depends on who makes the team. If its Kenny, Coleman, Fred and Noah, I would have more confidence on them all making the final, vs if Lindsey or Miller made the team. Simply because thoes 4 know how to run rounds and get to the final, regardless if they medal or not. For example, I would hypothetically say Coleman has a 75% chance of making the USA 100m team, but I would say he has a 85-90% chance of making the 100m final. But to your point, the 100m is so deep in the world that someone fast is getting left out. What would be interesting is if a Jamaican wins the DL this year, gets a wild card and we see something 4 JA and 4 US in the final. Its VERY unlikely but that image would be crazy since I think London 2012 was the last time a full 2 squads made the 100m final, but that was only 3 each.

[@jamesmarrah1272]

Coleman who isn't ready to improve in his finish Lyles Fred Miller

[@christiansantana4869]

Hope he proves me wrong, but I’m definitely counting Coleman out

[@kevinwoods2585]

You guys are magic 🪄 together. Best track coverage in my opinion on KZbin 🫵🏾

[@xcbaby123]

Lyles, Kerley, Coleman

[@AllInTheGame01]

Lyles has a wildcard in both 100/200m as defending World Champ, so 4 guys will be going in both events!

[@TheFinalLeg]

Who's your 4th? Lyles got the wild card already in the 100m

[@AthleticsEditz]

@@AllInTheGame01 And Sha'Carri for the women!

[@AllInTheGame01]

@AthleticsEditz Yup along with Grant, Crouser, Chase, Katie, Val & Lagi, so USA also gets 4 spots in W100m, M110mH, M&W's SP, Women's PV & Discus. CAN gets the next most in the M800m, DEC & M&W's HAM with Arop, LePage, Katzberg & Rogers as defending champs. JAM's M400m, W200m & W100mH all get 4 spots with Antonio, Shericka & Danielle as defending champs.

[@AthleticsEditz]

Possibly Lindsey is probably the best shot to beat one of them or even Christian Miller, if someone like Bromell or any other American who’s been injured over the last couple of years is in good shape then they possibly could spoil the party. I doubt it though and it’ll most likely be (Lyles), Bednarek, Coleman and Kerley going to Tokyo!

[@TheoOJamaloO1]

Paris? I think you mean Tokyo lol

[@AthleticsEditz]

@ Yep, autopilot-ing these comments so completely messed up on which city lmao.

[@TheFinalLeg]

Agree that Lindsey is likely the guys to break things up, along with Christian Miller being next best. Bromell is the wild card in that if he is healthy, he could mess around and beat everyone at USAs. But also, some NCAA kid can come up and do damage by the time USAs comes around. But there is a long gap of 4-5 weeks between NCAA championships to USA champs. So well see.

[@AthleticsEditz]

@@TheFinalLeg Yep!

[@tyeguy5373]

@AthleticsEditz You don’t know what you getting back with Bramwell after 2 years off. I don’t think Kerley going to Tokyo as a individual this time , believe Christian Coleman going to make up for missing his spot on the Olympic team.. The changing of camp specks volume towards his intention for this year.. Noah Lyles don’t have to go to trials because he have a wild card, so it’s going to be between Kenny and Coleman and a tast up between whoever..

[@floydwalker37]

Didn’t Kyrie King run on the 4x1 in the Prelims?

[@seensay2132]

CC is Over!!!!!! That debilitating finish officially got put on blast last year. Though if you go back and peep his last 2 World Champs 100 finals, there’s a clear pattern here. But it’s the 100. A comeback talent or NCAA upstart could easily take that 3rd spot behind Kerley & Kenny B.

[@TheFinalLeg]

Nah gotta disagree on this one about Coleman. He has struggled with his 2nd half, but maybe that's what moving to Dennis Mitchell will help him with. He's essentially training with stronger 200m guys now (Kenny, Courtney, Kyree) So well see. But even with him not making the team in 2024, he has been above the rest of the field so it will be hard to stop him. But your 100% right than and NCAA guys can come up and grab a spot. That's happened so many times over the last 10 years (2013 Charles Silmon, 2015 & 2016 Trayvon Bromell, 2017 Chris Belcher). So who knows!

[@seensay2132]

@ you might be right! My brotha and I go round & round on this. I applaud CC finally attempting to address that 2nd half Achilles Heel. But is it too late to fix and with better competition on the rise, is my question 🧐

[@actual_random]

CC is going to drop 9.75 and 19.57 pon Fada Hype head top. Screenshot this NOW!

The only people I could see upsetting those 3 are Courtney and Knighton if he decides to run the 100m because I can see him running 9.8s🤔

[@stjjnr980]

[@floziq8117]

Christian miller is the real deal & most likely will dominate usa sprinting for a while

[@c_waitz2855]

I got Trayvon Bromell

[@Neofolis]

I'm honestly surprised that more US athletes don't change their citizenship. I appreciate the patriotism, but it must be very disheartening to go year after year failing to make teams that you would make with almost every other country in the world.

[@AllInTheGame01]

A number of US Athletes have made the switch to other countries over the last few yrs; Joe Fahnbulleh, Destiny Smith-Barnett, Maia McCoy, Thelma Davies, Symone Darius & Ebony Morrison all made the switch to Liberia; Andrew Hudson, Lanae-Tava Thomas, Davonte Burnett & Brianna White all made the switch to Jamaica; Udodi Onwuzurike made the switch to Nigeria; Jessika Gbai made the switch to Côte d’Ivoire; Janu Sallow made the switch to Gambia just to name a few :)

[@Eastsidecrime]

This is the year I think Trayvon Bromell makes a comeback

[@TheFinalLeg]

Could be! He said that he is going for world indoor gold so he is likely healthy and ready to compete. And he is back with his old coach at Baylor

[@AthleticsEditz]

@@TheFinalLeg If only CC had stayed with his old coach we'd have gotten a Coleman vs. Bromell 60m Indoor Final!

[@TheoOJamaloO1]

​@AthleticsEditz Yeah but we need CC at the world outdoor champs that's more important.

[@k.o6157]

Okay here are my picks to make the team for UsA's 1.Kenny Bednarek 2.Courney Lindsey 3.Fred Kerley Sorry coleman but I think its Linsey time 😢

[@seensay2132]

He got exposed! That last 40 has become his Achilles Heel. BIG liability against better finishers when peers are all running fast.

[@TheFinalLeg]

Courtney definitely has a lot of untapped potential. I think he is waiting to drop something big this year. We cant forget he is the 2023 NCAA 100m Champion and he was killing it on the relay all through 2024.

[@actual_random]

This is CC time. Dennis Mitchell will work his magic and have him looking like 2015 Gatlin.

[@Christian-se5si]

lindsey, and miller.

[@TheFinalLeg]

Yea those are my top 2 that can shake things up. They have the most potential for sure.

[@kennethwoods6525]

Did Erriyon Knighton move to Mars or something?

[@TheoOJamaloO1]

We are talking about the 100 not the 200. Knighton hasn't even run sub 10 yet.

[@TheFinalLeg]

Nah he's still on earth, but just running the 200m, not the 100m

[@AllInTheGame01]

Knighton really does need to finally start running the 100m regularly, last ran it in April '23! Will be 3yrs this April since he ran his 10.04 (-0.1) PB, should be aiming to get it down to the low 9.9s/high 9.8s by the end of '25. Also, if by then he's still stuck in the 19.7s for the 3rd yr in a row, it's time to follow Talitha Diggs out of Gainesville (same for Fahnbulleh who hasn't run sub 20s in over 2.5yrs) & go join her in Gary Evans's Training Group!

[@kennethwoods6525]

@AllInTheGame01 : I'm going to give you a knuckle bump for that. 👊 👍

[@AllInTheGame01]

@@kennethwoods6525 👊 Find it a little frustrating when ppl never want to even politely say anything the least bit critical about coaches who are held in high esteem when something is clearly not going well in their group! Once you start looking a little closer at performances beyond the great ones of 1 or 2 of their Star Athletes, you start noticing things like; Knighton not running sub 10/19.7s when he should be by now; performance drop-offs in a bunch of their College Athletes when they went Pro; Talitha Diggs, Joe Fahnbulleh, Jacory Patterson, Ryan Willie, Champion Allison (before he left) etc.
