His exceptional speed and talent have undoubtedly captured the attention of the track and field community, sparking anticipation for his future performances on the international stage.
“It feels great to know at the point I’m at now, I’m not just racing high schoolers, I can race people who are much older and much more developed which means I’m getting to that point as well, so now I’m coming for much more,” said Miller.
“To run 9.93… it’s a great milestone that I’ve hit, going from fastest high schooler, to fastest U-18 athlete, U-20 athlete and the fastest in the world right now is great and I’m ready to come after more,” he added.
The sprinter held the esteemed title of the country’s top prospect in track and field and officially committed to the University of Georgia by signing his letter of intent. Miller dedicates his training and competes under the banner of the St. Johns Strider Track Club, based in Jacksonville, Florida, where he receives guidance and mentorship from coach Ricky Fields, per sportskeeda.com.
