Kerley won a bronze medal in Paris in the summer in the 100 meters, while his teammate Noah Lyles He obtained his first Olympic gold. Kerley won the 2022 World Championship at the event and Silver at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
It also has world championships in the 4×400 meter relay in 2019 and the 4×100 meter relay in 2023.
Kerley was part of the 4×100 meters team in Paris that was disqualified due to a failed transfer. Lyles thought it was part of that team, but became ill of Covid earlier for the week, which contributed to the fact that it fell short in the 200 meters, an event for which it had been the great favorite.
