“I felt really good going into the race,” said Miller-Uibo following the race.
“I came out focused on having a lot of fun and putting on a great show in front of the crowd. The time is very consistent with what I have been doing so far this season, so I am very pleased with the run.
“For the remainder of the season, I’m just focusing on staying healthy and trying to keep my times consistent.”
