“Ryin Miller became the Heartland’s fastest-rising talent over the last 12 months, having made the successful transition from the soccer pitch to the track oval. This spring, she rocketed up the state’s all-time distance lists with head-turning momentum. Also a standout with the school’s basketball and cross-country programs, she built up stamina across the spectrum of sports, which helped make her an exceptional newcomer on the national scene.”

Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-7 sophomore distance talent swept the 800, 1600 and 3200-meter events at the KSHSAA State Championship this past season, leading the Vikings to a fourth-place finish as a team. Miller ranked among the nation’s top five sophomores nationally in the 1500 and 3200 disciplines this spring, and her personal-best times in the 1500 (4:26.58), the 3200 (10:13.97) and the 800 (2:10.25) all rank in the top three in state history.
