CHASING SPEED: Miles More Than Just Star Athlete
Now, he thrives on the big stage.
“I love track... everything about it. I love being in the big races. I want to be able to compete with anyone in the state of Texas.”
His drive comes from more than competition. Personal motivation runs deep.
“My pops passed away just before seventh grade, and he always told me to go after what I want in life,” Miles said. “That really hit me hard. He’s my motivation. I have a tattoo of him walking up the steps to heaven on my arm.”
Miles is versatile on the track, competing in the 100m, 200m, 400m, and relays. But right now, his focus is on speed.
“I’m really focused on my 100 time — I want to get down to a 10.5.”

He’s also a dual-sport athlete, starring as a running back for Nimitz High School football and rushing for over 1,000 yards this season. But his long-term focus remains track.
“I love to listen to nature noises before a race to calm down. It helps me lock in.”
Off the track, life is just as full. Miles dreams of welding school — following a family tradition — and embraces the simple joys of being a teenager.
“I love a smash burger. I love Beyoncé. I love cars. I love playing The Game,” he laughed.
Family is central too. He shares life with a twin brother, who’s more of a gamer and streamer.
“It’s exhausting having a twin,” he said. “When they cause trouble, you always have to help them get out. But he’s my brother... I love him.”
For Brashard Miles, whether on the track, the football field, or navigating life, it’s about speed, focus, and heart — and he’s just getting started.
