    After coming from behind to top Salina Central senior star Katelyn Rupe in Friday night's Class 5A girls 3,200 meters Miller returned on Saturday to add championships in the 1,600 and 800, raising her career state victory total to five.

    "I'm so excited,'' Miller said. "That probably was like unfathonable freshman year. Like even one would just be crazy to me but that definitely one of my season goals (this spring).

    "I have a whiteboard and I write down all my goals and that was like the biggest one in all caps was 'Go three for three at state,' so I'm really happy with it.''

    After winning her first 3,200 title in 10 minutes, 19.53 seconds Friday night to thwart Rupe's bid for a fourth title in the event, Miller and Rupe went one-two again in the 1,600, with Miller winning in 4:57.33, and the Viking star picked up her third straight win on Saturday, taking the 800 crown in 2:11.14 to finish her season undefeated individually.

    Like she had in the 3,200, Miller ran second to Rupe for most of the 1,600 before taking the lead on the final lap.

    Conversely, Miller took control of the 800 from the outset, with Leavenworth sophomore Kelsie Kudzia second in 2:12.99.

    "I've had the opportunity to learn from one of my past teammates (Bethany Druse),'' Miller said. "She's a great runner and just one time didn't get out hard enough and got boxed in the 800, which is really easy to do. I think the 800 is probably one of the most tactical races in track and field so I was like, 'Just get out, don't get boxed and just push it and see what happens.' ''

    "Early in the round, it did not look good,'' Hayden coach Carvel Reynoldson told KSHSAA Covered. "We got down pretty big. But the fact that we stormed back and took the lead there on the second nine was fun.

    "Credit Wamego. We didn't blow it. They stepped up."

    Despite the fact that the Wildcats' title bid came up short, Reynoldson said he was extremely proud of his team.

    "What I love about this group is it's hard to get them to go home before dark,'' Reynoldson said. "It's 6 o'clock and I'm heading home and they're still working. They really wanted this and to come up short hurts."

    Senior James Kuta led Hayden with a fourth-place individual finish at 152 (77-75) while senior Tagen Rodriguez finished ninth at 156 (81-75).
