“Ryin Miller impressively notched her first state record on the track this past season and there’s every reason to believe more history is within reach next spring. A multi-sport standout, as her learning curve grows on the track and as she gains precious racing experience in the bigger meets, her upside continues to be very promising in helping to move Kansas distance running onto the national map.”
