Talented sprinter forgoing college to join Puma’s lineup as the next star athlete


Christian Miller, a high school track and field standout, made a name for himself by running the 100 meters in 9.93 seconds before turning 18. He has now signed a professional contract with Puma, skipping the NCAA in favor of a pro career. Miller will continue training with his coach in Florida while taking online classes at Liberty University. He aims to establish himself among the top sprinters in the field by the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. Several shoe companies vied for the chance to sponsor Miller before he chose Puma, known for working with Usain Bolt. The terms of his deal were not disclosed, but it is described as one of the most lucrative for a debut professional athlete in track and field. Miller’s decision to turn pro was influenced by his stellar senior season, culminating in a fifth-place finish at the U.S. Olympic trials and running one of the fastest times by an under-20 athlete. He is confident he can compete with the best in the world and emulate the success of other young professional athletes who have gone on to win medals. Ultimately, Miller decided to seize the opportunity to turn pro and make his mark in the track and field world while striking while the iron is hot.
