Chugiak Sprinter Fred Millen Sets Record Times After Meniscus Surgery
Fred Millen III, a sophomore sprinter at Chugiak High School in Alaska, has achieved remarkable success in the 2026 track and field season despite recovering from meniscus surgery sustained during football. After a slow start, Millen posted historic performances in April at the Liberty Bell Invitational in Denver, Colorado. He recorded the fastest 200-meter time in Alaska high school history at 21.88 seconds and anchored relay teams that set all-time state marks in the 4x100 (42.61) and 4x200 (1:28.18) events. His achievements highlight a strong team dynamic at Chugiak, where teammates like Elijah Udall and Ahmir Walker push each other to improve. Coach Luke Steele praised the collective effort and Millen's role in raising the program's standards. The team recently broke their own 4x200 relay record again at the Anchorage Invitational. Millen, who joined track in eighth grade, previously helped secure a state championship during his freshman year. This recent surge in performance underscores the young Mustangs team's upward trajectory and competitive spirit on both state and national stages.
