Christian Miller made his stance clear ahead of his Grand Slam Track stint, where he will grace the track as a challenger in the male short sprints. Miller came fresh off displaying a stellar show at the 2025 Seiko Golden Grand Prix.
Christian Miller, the 2023 USATF U20 100m and 200m champion, opened his rookie season with a dominant 100m performance, clocking 10.02 on the Florida tracks. He then competed at the 2025 Seiko Golden Grand Prix, a World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event in Tokyo, where he finished second in 10.08s in the 100m, surpassing Christian Coleman.
As the 19-year-old is gearing up as a challenger at the Grand Slam Track stop in Philadelphia, he sent a strong message, exuding confidence before his feat.

The 19-year-old shared a countdown timer with 'shock the world' written on it. He also shared a write-up about himself, which said:
"19-year-old Christian Miller has run faster this season, with a 10.02 season's best, and has narrowly beaten Coleman in their two 100m contests this season. Miller is returning to the same track where he raised eyebrows as a high schooler with a 9.95 run at New Balance Nationals last year."
In October 2024, Miller announced that he had signed a professional contract with Puma, ending his chances of an NCAA career. His 100m time at the 2023 USATF U20 Championships broke the U18 world record of Thai sprinter Puripol Boonson.
Christian Miller shared his goals for the 2025 season after signing professionally with Puma
Christian Miller signed with one of the largest apparel giants, Puma, to forgo college eligibility and turn professional. In an interview with Forbes, the Creek High School alum shared that he would get several races throughout the 2025 season to shine.
"The doors will open throughout the 2025 season. I feel like it will not only push my name nationally, but it will push it out globally as well.”
He further explained that he would improve his form from last year and be patient for everything to fall into place.
"My mindset right now is always to improve in everything that I’m doing. To be better than I was last year. What are we good on? What do we need to speed up on? It’s being patient. I’m so used to getting the season started around this time. I tell myself each year, every time I go out for a race ‘go out and execute each race with the training I’ve always done’. If I trust it and execute it how I’ve trained, I know I’m capable.”
Miller was in the running for a Paris Olympic spot but finished fifth in the 100m at the US Olympic trials.
