Christian Miller Set To Race Against Pros at Edwin Moses Legends MeetPublished by
Florida Prep To Race Matthew Boling And Others In Atlanta By Todd Grasley for DyeStat Crash Kamon photo Christian Miller doesn't get intimidated lining up against elite and professional runners. The Georgia signee from Creekside FL, the USATF U20 100-and 200-meter champion ran sparingly outdoors this season. At the recent Florida state meet, he only participated in a relay. The highlight, of course, was a blistering 9.93 100 meters, a world lead at the time, and the third-fastest U20 time in the world at the PURE Athletics Sprint Elite Meet on April 24, with Olympians Noah Lyles and Grant Holloway watching on.
Miller, who also ran a wind-aided 20.15 later that evening, and has a legal best of 20.50, will compete this weekend in Atlanta at the Edwin Moses Legends meet. He will face a field that includes Matthew Boling, Elijah Hall, Micaiah Harris, Jeremiah Curry, Dorian Camel and Michael Ohioze. "To be honest I’m just looking to execute everything I’ve practiced for the last few weeks. I know if I can do that then an elite time will result," he said. Recently, he enlisted the services of Mezzo Management Group, an "athlete and events management agency with expertise in race planning, sportswear, and commercial contract negotiation." "I see great potential out of them and out of my recently signed agent Mario Bassani," Milled added. Following this weekend in Atlanta, Miller plans to focus on one last high school meet, New Balance Nationals Outdoor, before the ultimate goal of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials in just three weeks at Hayward Field in Eugene. "I’m looking to go compete against some elite competition and if it’s in God's plan, try to earn a spot on the team for Paris." More news |
