In this Fox Sports Southwest High School Spotlight feature, our Robert Land profiles Lamar’s Milan Young, who’s ranked top 10 in both the 300M & 100M hurdles.
Her competitive nature started with her family. Milan’s father Michael Young is a Houston Cougar legend with the Phi Slama Jama teams, but it doesn’t stop there.
Her brother Joseph plays for the NBA’s Indiana Pacers. Her brother Jacob will play for the Longhorns next year and her sister Mayorka Young is a star on the Houston Cougar Track Team. Milan says it was actually her brother Jacob who got her into track.
The Junior exploded on the scene at the Texas Relays earlier this year and she’s now on every major college’s radar. Her coach, Bob Collett, says the 5’9 lanky & explosive sprinter reminds him of her dad’s college classmate Carl Lewis, a sprinting legend.
