Despite an incredible run at the Olympic Trials, finishing 5th, Christian Miller was not chosen by Team USA Track and Field to be in the 4x100 relay pool.
1:04 PM PDT July 3, 2024Christian Miller went into the track and field Olympic trials with specific goals. He ended up not finishing in the top three in the 100-meter sprint, and therefore did not earn an automatic spot on the Olympic team.
Even though Miller finished top five and Team USA takes six men to be in the 4x100 pool to run the relay race in Paris, he did not get selected. To he and everyone close to him, fairness was out the window. However, world ranking also comes into play. Miller isn't ranked as highly as some professionals since he has not run in professional meets. He has maintained amateur status because he is running for the University of Georgia in the fall.
