THE older brother of Oxford United winger Stan Mills broke a UK Athletics Indoor Championships record for the men’s 3,000m.
George Mills smashed the record with a time of 7:40.16, bettering the previous record by almost 10 seconds.
Mills was neck and neck with James West as the pair tussled right up until the finish line, but he did just enough to finish 0.17 seconds in front.

He was watched on Sunday from the stands by his father, the former England and Leeds United right back Danny Mills, as he booked a place at the European Athletics Indoor Championships in the Netherlands next month.
The 25-year-old athlete said: “Today was about winning first of all to secure a Euros and Worlds place.
“It was fun to be out there, but going forward there are much bigger things on the line.”
