Athletics-American teenager Miller clocks fastest 100m time of season
American teenager Christian Miller sprinted to the quickest 100 metres time in the world this year at a high school athletics meeting on Saturday.
The 17-year-old Georgia recruit pulled away from the field to blaze to a time of 9.93 seconds in Clermont, Florida, breaking Trayvon Bromell's U.S. under-20 100m record of 9.97 set in 2014.
While it is early in the outdoor track and field season, it topped the previous world lead of 9.99 set last month by Nigeria's Favour Ashe. American Noah Lyles, triple gold medallist at last year's world championships, ran 10.01 on April 13.
