Westmoreland campus clippings: All-America honors for Carlow's Olivia Miller

Carlow senior Olivia Miller is an All-American again — in two events.

The Ligonier Valley product placed sixth in the high jump at the 41st NAIA Indoor Track & Field Championships to finish inside the top eight and earn the status. Her distance was 1.61 meters.

She also took sixth in the pentathlon.

“The moment of becoming a two-time All-American was a two-year journey that was well-deserved,” Carlow coach Tony Anderson said. “Olivia has demonstrated that hard work, dedication, confidence and perseverance will not only make you a better athlete, but it will also transform all the other aspects of your life.”
