Miller, a four-sport standout for the Vikings, Miller was earlier named the state’s 2024-25 Gatorade Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year, giving her three state Gatorade honors.

This past track season Miller swept the Class 5A 800 (2:11.14), 1,600 (4:57.33) and 3,200-meter runs (10:19.53) in the state meet at Wichita State's Cessna Stadium, giving her five career state titles.

Following her high school season Miller traveled to Eugene, Ore. for the Nike Outdoor Nationals, where she finished fifth in the championship division of the 3,000 meters (9:28.52) and fourth in the championship division of the mile run (4:42.58).

Miller's outstanding track campaign came on the heels of a banner cross country season last fall, which included the fastest five-kilometer run in Kansas history (16:32.62) and a runnerup finish in the 5A state meet (17:26.36).

Miller has maintained a 4.14 weighted grade point average in the classroom.
