MSUB Track Signs Glendive’s Miller (5/22/07)

BILLINGS, MT – Montana State University Billings cross-country and track coach Dave Coppock announced Tuesday that Kelley Miller of Glendive, Mont., has signed a national letter of intent to compete for the Yellowjackets.  Miller is a senior at Dawson County High School in Glendive.

“Kelley is a very versatile runner and has some of the top performances in the Eastern A at distances from 100 meters to the mile,” said Coppock.  “He has qualified for State this coming weekend in the 400, 800, 4x100 relay and 4x400 relay.  He seems to be progressing well as a distance runner and with his speed, he'll really help us out in both track and cross country.  He's part of a real strong group of freshmen we're getting here from eastern Montana.”

Miller placed third in the 800 at last week’s Eastern A Divisional.  He also placed sixth in the 400 and was a member of the Devils’ second place 4x100 relay and fourth place 4x400 relay teams.  His fastest 400 time this season has been 50.50, which would place him within 0.15 second of this season’s tenth-fastest time in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.
