taylor milne -lrb- born september 14 , 1981 in callander , ontario -rrb- is a canadian middle distance runner .
milne made his official debut for the 2008 summer olympics in beijing , where he competed in the men 's 1500 metres .
milne first appeared and competed as part of the national team at the 2006 iaaf world cross country championships in fukuoka , japan , where he placed twenty-eighth in the men 's senior eight kilometre run .
in 2008 , he set his personal best time and an equal olympic a-standard of 3:36.00 by winning the 1500 metres at the harry jerome international track classic in burnaby , british columbia , which earned him a qualifying spot for the summer olympics in beijing .
two weeks later , milne captured his another title and set a new championship meet record of 3:38.03 at the canadian track and field championships in windsor , ontario , to fully secure his place for the olympics , along with fellow athletes nathan brannen and kevin sullivan , who considered to be his personal hero .
at the 2008 summer olympics , milne ran in the first heat of men 's 1500 metres , against ten other athletes , including leonel manzano of the united states , and new zealand 's nick willis , who eventually won the silver medal in the final .
he finished the race in ninth place by approximately two seconds behind reyes estévez of spain , outside his personal best of 3:41.56 .
milne , unlike his two other teammates , failed to advance into the semi-finals , as he ranked below five mandatory qualifying slots for the next round .
milne also sought to qualify for his second olympic games in london ; however , he failed to attain an olympic a-standard of 3:35.50 , and finished behind brannen at the canadian track and field championships in calgary , alberta , outside further from his personal best time of 3:50.07 .
milne currently resides in guelph , ontario , and trains for the speed river track club under his head coach dave scott-thomas , who also worked for numerous top-level canadian athletes .
