Outdoors, Milne won an individual championship as a sophomore in the 1,500m and again won the event as a senior in 2005. Milne still holds the HPU indoor-record in the mile with a time of 4:02.18 and 3000m with a mark of 8:13.43. Milne holds the outdoor record in the 1,500-meters in 3:43.99 and was named the 2003 Big South Most Outstanding Indoor Track Performer.
 
Milne has competed for Canada since graduation and qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed in the 1500m run. In addition to his Diamond League race this summer, Milne also has qualified for the IAAF World Championships scheduled for August 22-30 in Beijing. He will compete in the 3000m steeplechase.
