Miller, a state champion in football and track while at Louisville High School, accepted a football scholar– ship t o East Central Community College when he graduated high school in 1995.

In 200i, Miller won the USA Indoor 200-meter title then, immediately after crossing the finish line, got tangled up with other run· ners and suffered a broken fibula in his left leg. He ran inseveral indoor races in 2002, but had to end his season because of ham– string problems, the result of the continuing r ehabili– tation of his left leg.
