Running at the Midwest Regional this past Saturday, senior Lance Miller became just the second athlete in Prairie Fire history to qualify for the NCAA Cross Country Championships and the first in 32 years. He ran the 8K course in 24:56.7 to finish 20th overall, the second fastest time in program history, and was one of the top seven finishers not from an NCAA qualifying team, which earned him his spot at nationals. The native of Mascoutah, Illinois, now owns the top four 8K times at Knox and six of the top 10, and on Saturday will compete in the NCAA 8K in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
