The 1999 World Outdoor 200m champion, Miller has had ups and downs with injuries the last four years…last year she grabbed a silver medal in the 4x100m relay at the World Outdoor championships in Paris…Miller was a medal favorite heading into the 2000 Olympics, qualifying for the 100m, 200m and the 4x100m relay…she withdrew just days before the first qualifying rounds of the 100m, as she recovered from a strained hamstring that she suffered early September 2000…she hoped to rest the hamstring and be ready for the 200m and the 4x100 relay, but the injury was a slow heal, forcing Miller to withdraw completely…her breakthrough year came in 1999 as she dominated the 200m field to take gold at the World Championships after finishing second in the 100. She made the ‘96 Olympic team just five weeks after her car flipped three times on the freeway…formerly coached by her father Dr. Lenox Miller a two-time Jamaican Olympic medalist…Miller says the relationship was effective: ‘For us it worked really well. We never brought the track stuff home.’ Miller enjoyed her breakthrough year in 1999 after joining HSI…she is now coached by John Smith, and she trains regularly with standout sprinters Maurice Greene, Jon Drummond and Ato Boldon.
