as one of the greatest 800-meter races in collegiate history, Miller finished as the runner-up behind only Athing Mu of Texas A&M, who set the collegiate record with a time of 1:57.73. Miller now holds both the indoor and outdoor school records in the 800
meters. The McKinney, Texas, native holds the Big 12 lead in the 800 by over five seconds, is third in the NCAA and 10th in the world.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

an outdoor PB and school record all on senior night. It really doesn’t get much better than that. I’m just happy and grateful that we’re racing happy and healthy.”<span style="color:black;background:white"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
