He also helped that team to the 1995 World Championships. He was ranked as high as No. 2 in the world in the 400 meters (1994) during his distinguished career.

On the collegiate level, Mills was a dominant performer for Georgia Tech, where he earned his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in 1995.
