Sports company PUMA has signed 18-year-old American sprinter Christian Miller.
Miller, who recently graduated from St. Johns Creekside High School, Florida, has experienced a meteoric rise over the past 18 months, culminating in the young track sensation joining a rare cohort of athletes to forego their NCAA eligibility and turn professional straight out of high school.
The young Floridian first grabbed headlines in July 2023, when he raced to a 100-meter victory in 10.08 seconds at the USA Track & Field U-20 Outdoor National Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, recording the fourth-fastest American high school 100-meter time on record.
“Christian is without doubt the most exciting male sprint prospect we have seen in a long time, and he is already making history on the track by setting junior records,” said Pascal Rolling, Director Sports Marketing at PUMA. “His performances are well beyond his years, and his decision to turn professional speaks volumes about his character. We are ecstatic to have him join the PUMA family.”
