Miller improves on own school record

Eme Miller has already cemented herself as the best distance runner in Defiance College history. Now she’s just making her records harder to surpass.
Miller broke her own mark in the 3,000-meter steeplechase Saturday as the Defiance women’s track team finished 16th out of 19 teams at the All-Ohio Division III Championships at Ohio Wesleyan University.
The 2012 Jay County High School graduate competed in the event for the first time this season and finished second to Sarah Fowler of the host Battling Bishops. Her time of 11 minutes, 20.11 seconds, surpassed her previous record by more than six seconds.
In addition to the steeplechase, Miller also holds the Yellowjackets’ outdoor track record in the 5,000 run. She has indoor records in the 1,000-, 3,000- and 5,000-meter events as well as the mile, and also owns the top times in Defiance history in cross country for both the 5K and 6K races.
