The following was printed on Jim Miller's HOF
plaque:
As a freshman cross-country runner in 1979, Miller became the
first NAIA All-American ever in any sport at Siena Heights
College. Miller placed 19th overall at the
’79 championships at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside
with a time of 25:40. Miller’s All-American time was
also a freshman record at Siena Heights that stood for twenty
years.
Miller duplicated his NAIA All-American effort in 1982 with a
17th-place finish at the 26th Annual NAIA
Men’s Cross Country Championships with a time of 25:41.
Sandwiched between his NAIA All-American performances were a NJCAA
All-American performance in 1980 while attending Jackson Community
College.
Another highlight in Miller’s outstanding running career
was his NAIA District #23 individual cross country championship in
1982.
Miller came to Siena Heights as a graduate of Adrian High
School. He currently works as a recreation director at the
Maurice Spear Campus in Adrian.
