Noah was born and raised, and still resides in Clearwater, Florida when not competing. He began sailing at the age of 6 and immediately fell in love with the sport. Lyons moved through a few different classes such as the RS:X and 49er before committing to an Olympic campaign in the iQFOiL class. During his campaign, he graduated from the University of South Florida with a degree in Microbiology, and decided to put graduate school on hold to pursue the Olympic dream full time.
Noah won U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Sailing in the Men’s iQFOiL in January of 2024 and went on to represent the USA at the Paris Olympics, finishing 9th overall at his debut Games.
