She also competed in the 500 freestyle at that meet, earning her personal best of 4:55.74 and finishing fourth.
At the 2021 FHSAA 1A State Championships, Miller competed in the 200 and 500 freestyles again. This time, she finished 11th in the 200 and 6th in the 500, earning season bests in each.
In addition to her Winter Juniors qualifying time, Miller owns 11 Futures qualifying times across various freestyle, backstroke, and IM events.

At the 2022 Patriot League Championships, the Navy sent four athletes to the ‘A’ final in the 200 free. They finished in 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 8th. With Miller’s best time, she would have come in 5th.
