The United Independent School District congratulates United High School teacher and Track & Field Coach Amy Mills-Villaseñor on her upcoming induction into the Tarleton Athletics Hall of Fame. 

Mrs. Villaseñor will be part of the Class of 2025 prestigious student athletes to be inducted this Saturday, May 3rd at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. 

Mrs. Villaseñor will become the 186th member of the Tarleton Athletics Hall of Fame, an elite student-athlete for Texan Track and Field from 2000-05. She will become the 32nd track and field individual to enter the Hall of Fame, and the 35th overall.

She was a star in the 400m Hurdles and on the 4x400m Relay Team for Tarleton State, four times named an All-American and four times the conference champion. In 2005, she broke the program's 400m Hurdles record at 59.19 seconds, a record that still stands to this day. Mills was an All-Conference student-athlete four times (2001, 2002, 2003, 2005), the team MVP twice (2001-02 and 2004-05), plus was the Lone Star Conference Athlete of the Week on April 21, 2005.

In 2001, the Texans were national qualifiers in the 4x400m Relay Team and broke a school record at the time. In 2005, her team was named All-American and broke the record again, this time at 3:42.40, a mark that stood for 10 years.

Mrs. Villaseñor is from Fritch, Texas and earned her bachelor’s degree in kinesiology at Tarleton State University in 2007. She currently leads the Longhorn Track team at United High School. Throughout her 17 professional years she has coached nine state qualifiers, many regional champions and district champions. Congratulations on this great accomplishment!
