Lennox Valencia Miller (8 October 1946 in Kingston, Jamaica – 8 November 2004 inPasadena, California) was a champion runner and father ofInger Miller.
Representing Jamaica, Miller won the silver medal in the 100 meters in the1968 Summer Olympics and the bronze in the1972 Summer Olympics, also in the 100.
He and Inger are the first father-daughter to win Olympic track and field medals. He was her coach prior to her winning gold in the1996 Summer Olympics. Both ran for theUniversity of Southern California, where Miller earned a degree inpsychology and graduated from the dental school. He had been a dentist in Pasadena for 30 years.[citation needed]
While at USC, Miller anchored the still standingWorld Record 4x110 yard relay at theNCAA Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championships, held atBrigham Young University inProvo, Utah. TheImperial distance became defunct as theIAAF now only recognizes metric races (except the oneMile run), so the event is rarely run and not part of elite competition. The record was also complicated because of Miller's Jamaican citizenship, the makeup of the team was not entirely from one country. Miller took the baton fromO. J. Simpson. Also on the team was futureNFL starEarl McCullouch.[citation needed]
