Owen Miller

Age: 19

Home town: Dunfermline, Fife

Classification: T20

Events: 1500m

Owen took up athletics and joined a local club after his PE teacher recommended he joined after seeing him running in his school sports day.

His first medal on the international stage came in 2012 when he was crowned European champion over 800m and bronze medallist over 1500m, also adding a world championship 800m bronze medal indoors, but won 800m gold and 1500m silver at the 2016 European Championships in Turkey.

Miller made his British debut at The World Championships 2019 off the back of a very successful year that has saw him set a new personal best of 3:56.32 and become the second on the all-time British T20 1500m list, for athletes who compete with learning or intellectual impairments.

Miller ran the second-fastest 1500 metres of his career in Manchester 2021.
