Sophomore sprinter Gerald Mills, one of the top recruits from last season, came from the high school All-American from Missouri City to the Cougars with junior Olympic experience that had him ranked as the top sprinter in Texas.
But Mills never had a breakout performance during the indoor or outdoor seasons. Mills failed to keep his indoor 60m below 7.00 and managed just an eighth place finish in the Indoor Conference Championships. Now with a whole season under Head Coach Leroy Burrell and Coach Carl Lewis’s tutelage, Mills has himself primed for a great season alongside his talented teammates.
