The track and field season may be young, but Miller’s time is very impressive regardless.
In fact, after tonight’s results, Miller, a senior at Creekside High School in Florida, is the fastest American teenager of all time.
Only two 17-year-olds have run faster than Miller in the 100 meters: Issam Asinga, Suriname, who, aged 18, ran 9.89 last year (soon after he tested positive for doping) and Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo, who in 2022 ran 9.91 .
The previous world annual best was held by Favor Ashe, Nigeria, at 9.99.
