Best in the Region
Distin and Miller were named United States Track and Field Cross Country Coaches Association South Central Regional Athletes of the Year. Distin won the Women's Field Athlete of the Year, while Miller won the Men's Track Athlete of the Year. Distin's season highlights include winning six of the seven high jump competitions entered, as well as NCAA and Southeastern Conference titles. She finished the season on a high note, clearing 6-3/1.90m and higher in the last three meets. The Hanover, Jamaica, native first broke a 46-year old Jamaican national record (6-3.5/1.93m) at the Don Kirby Open on Feb. 11, and matched that height to claim her first career national title on March 12.
Miller dominated distances from the 600m to 800m, as well as contributing to the 4x400m relay. The St. Louis, Missouri, native finished the indoor campaign a two-time NCAA national champion (800m, 4x400m) and defended his SEC 800m title. Most notably, Miller became the first Aggie in school history to claim the indoor 800m national title. His season-best 800m time of 1:45.24 broke the American collegiate and Texas A&M record previously held by Devin Dixon (1:45.27), while his season-best 600m time of 1:15.49 registered as an under-20 world all-time best.
