An American speed prodigy named Christian Miller has become the youngest sprinter to break the sub-10s mark in history.
Creekside High School Christian Miller blazed to the top of the world and recognition after clocking an astonishing 9.93s (1.6) to break the American junior record at the Pure Athletics Invitational in Florida.
The 17-year-old, who had a breakout season last year after setting a new 10.08s to break the world youth record, defeated Rikkoi Bratwaite in 10.03s and more established sprinter Cejhae Greene in 10.09s.
Miller's time not only broke Olympian Trayvon Bromell's former US record of 9.97s set in 2014, but it makes him the youngest person to break the sub-10s mark, and propelled him to No. 3 on the all-time world junior list behind Issam Asinga and Letsile Tebogo.

"I feel great. I feel like all the work I put in finally came together to put a 9.93s, I feel great," said Miller in a post-race interview with Fitzroy Dunkley.
