Hey Athletic Fans,
To kick things off, Noah Lyles is used to being the fastest name in the room — but today it's his wife making the headlines, as Junelle Bromfield steps away from track and field for good. Elsewhere, the young Adaejah Hodge isn’t done just yet.
Better known as the sprinter who broke Sha'Carri Richardson's NCAA record, Hodge is making more noise after delivering another historic run straight to gold. All that and more in your daily dose of Essentially Athletics!

The win, in his signature gold spikes, made him the first man in Olympic history to complete the 200m-400m double, and no one has matched it since.
