Carjay Lyles began his life-long love of track and field twenty years ago when, as a ten-year-old, he began entering meets in the 100, 400, and 800-meter runs. Fast forward eight years to Lyles' career as a collegiate athlete, racing for the University of Tennessee, and again to his time as a post-collegiate athlete and coach, and you will see the path that has led him to the newest stage in his increasingly-impressive career: Assistant Coach at the University of Missouri in charge of the sprints, hurdles, and horizontal jumps.
