"I'm a competitor. I like to say I'm a dog. You always think that you have what it takes. And I know that I have what it takes. It was great though; it grounds you and roots you and makes you hungry. Everything happens for a reason. Every race that I'm in, I'm going to try to win. I don't like to lose. But when I do lose, I lose with grace. So for me, it was great for my career – what I just went through – for the sheer fact that it made me hungry, humble and focused for this year.”
Brandon Miller is the 2022 NCAA indoor 800m champion and just wrapped up his first year as a pro runner. He just signed with the Brooks Beasts and will join the team in Seattle in 2024.
After foregoing the remainder of his NCAA eligibility at Texas A&M, he spent the past 10 months working with coach Bobby Kersee in Los Angeles. He has a personal best of 1:44.97 for 800m and represented Team USA at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene. He’s been competing in the sport since he was seven years old at the AAU level.
We touch on how he’s managed the progression, lessons from his brief stint with Kersee and what his biggest hopes with coach Danny Mackey and the Beasts – where he’ll be training alongside the likes of Isaiah Harris, Devin Dixon and Josh Kerr.

Today on the podcast is Isiah Harris!
Isaiah runs for the Brooks Beast. Isaiah most recently placed second at this year's US Championships by running a time of 1:46.68, sending him to Budapest this month for the 2023 World Championships. Back in 2022, he earned a spot on his first US team by finishing 2nd at the 2022 USATF Indoor National Championships, eventually finishing seventh at the World Championships in Belgrade, Serbia.
In college, Isaiah achieved several notable milestones during his collegiate career at Penn State University, including winning the 2018 NCAA Championship in the Outdoor 800-meters with a time of 1:44.76. Isaiah is an 8-time Big Ten Champion and holds the All-Time Big Ten Indoor Championships and Outdoor Championships Records in the 800-meters with times of 1:46.24 and 1:45.31, respectively. He also competed in the 2017 IAAF World Championships and the USATF Championships, earning a silver medal in the latter with a time of 1:44.53. He demonstrated consistent performances and secured multiple NCAA Indoor/Outdoor All-American honors throughout his career. With impressive speed and endurance, Isaiah established himself as one of the top middle-distance runners in the United States and made significant contributions to Penn State's track and field program.
In today's conversation, Isaiah and I have a very fun, wide-ranging discussion on a plethora of topics including his upbringing in the sport, years at Penn State, the culture at Brooks Beasts, this past US Championships, and much more.

“For some reason, I think everyone on this team is kind of an underdog. Everyone has that same killer mentality. We want to be at the top and we want to have that respect we deserve. Even Danny as a coach has been an underdog. Time after time, people are starting to understand these guys are legit. Josh is the best example of that. I think over the next couple of years, there will be more people winning medals.”
Isaiah Harris is taking his 1:44.42 personal best for 800m and 3:42.63 personal best for 1,500m to the Brooks Beasts. In this episode, he tells CITIUS MAG why he decided to make the move after a year where he finished fourth in the 800 meters at the U.S. Olympic Trials and recorded a victory at the British Grand Prix at Gateshead. He takes us through his early roots in finding success in track as a high schooler in Lewiston, Maine. By the end of his high school career, he held the Maine state record in every event from 200 meters through 800 meters. Riley Masters considers him the greatest athlete to come out of Maine. Now, Isaiah wants to give back to his community at home as a professional because Lewiston ranks as Maine's poorest city so you'll get to hear a bit about those plans. Consider Isaiah someone to watch in the 800 in 2022.
