Carlow's Olivia Miller, Ligonier Valley alum, named River States' field athlete of week
When Carlow says, “jump,” Olivia Miller asks, “how high?”
The senior, who competes in a multiple events for the Celtics track and field team, garnered River States Athletic Conference Field Athlete of the Week honors after a strong start to the indoor season.
A Ligonier Valley graduate, Miller has competed in the high jump, long jump, triple jump and pentathlon this season. She ranks fourth in the NAIA in the high jump at 1.65 meters, a mark that broke her school record. Miller set another program mark in the long jump (5.01 meters) and she won the triple jump (10.83 meters) at the IWU Invitational.
She ranks 11th nationally in the pentathlon with 3,123 points — from the fall season.
