When it comes to pure talent Miller is one of the top guys of the decade. That's why he is in the spot at #5. What he did in his high school career was absolutely phenomenal. As a sophomore he was the runner up at the 2002 Class B State Meet running a time of 16:26 which was good for the 3rd fastest time of all classes that day. A few weeks later at the New England Championships in Portland, Maine he placed 7th with a time of 15:53.24 as he was the 3rd Maine runner to cross the finish line that day. As a junior, he was yet again the runner up at the state meet. This time he ran on his home course where he posted a time of 16:12 which was good for the 2nd fastest time of all classes. At the New England Championships in Manchester, NH he placed 9th with a time of 15:59. The following year he finally prevailed as the individual champion at 2005 state meet as he used his home course to his advantage and blew away the field running a very impressive time of 15:42. At the New England's that year he placed 2nd behind Cory Thorne of Portsmouth NH running a time of 16:15. At the Foot Locker Regionals a few weeks later he placed 17th coming up short of qualifying for the Nationals in San Diego. He just as good, if not, better success on the track as well. At the 2004 Class B indoor state meet he won the 3200 running an impressive time of 9:45.96 as no one was even close to him. He saw his times drop even more in Outdoor. As a sophomore he was the runner up in the 3200 at the 2003 State Meet running a fast time of 9:34.34. The following year as a junior he placed 2nd in the 1600 and 3200 running 4:18.77 and 9:33.60 respectively. In those two races he pushed Greely sensation Ben True to the edge as Miller really had an astounding performance. At the New England Championships that year he placed 4th in the 3200 as he ran an absurd time of 9:12.53 as he was the first Mainer to cross the line in that event. As a senior he simply dominated the competition. He set the Class B 1600 record with a time of 4:16.38 as he blew away the field, and then he took the 3200 Championship running 9:32.50. Unfortunately Miller couldn't accept his award that day as he let Falmouth legend Sam Bonsey do his part by accepting the medal. At the New England Championships he dropped out of the 3200 due to is dehydration. Miller went on the Georgetown Univeristy as he saw his mile time dip close to the four minute barrier. He is truly an amazing person, and he is one of the best looking guys I have ever seen.
