Miller will be recognized at the Sportswomen of Colorado's annual banquet on March 17 at the Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center along with nearly 40 other outstanding high school, collegiate, and professional athletes across all sports. 

In one of the nation's strongest track & field states, Miller stood out for her incredible 2023 that included the NCAA Division II indoor pole vault national championship and the outdoor national silver medal. Mines' Female Athlete of the Year, Miller earned USTFCCCA First-Team All-America honors in both seasons, was a First-Team Academic All-American, and was the RMAC Field Athlete of the Year indoors.
