By Doug Binder, DyeStat Editor

Brandon Miller of Ultimate Speed Academy (John Burroughs MO) re-established himself as the national leader in the 800 meters Saturday at the Music City Indoor Invitational in Nashville, Tenn. 

Miller, who ran sub-1:50 as a sophomore and won the 2018 Brooks PR meet, lost most of his 2019 season due to a hamsting injury. 

But on Saturday, the Texas A&M recruit blew away the field to win the 800 in 1:52.10 on the Vanderbilt University track for a new US#1 time.
