The distinction goes to the top-5 individuals in each event from each region in addition to each of the members of the top-3 ranked relay teams following the conclusion of the regular season.
It is the third time in program history that a Ram was acknowledged for their outdoor athletic performance regionally and first since Amalia Dorion earned the recognition a year ago in the 1500. Miller and Moukaddem become the first-ever teammates to pick up the nod in the same season, while the latter is the first-ever Suffolk student-athlete to receive a pair of accolades in the same season.
Miller, who brought her talents to Beacon Hill as a graduate student, took home the feat in the 3000 Steeplechase behind her 11:00.72 effort at The F.I.R.E Meet at Williams May 8, which also set the program record in the event. That time finished the year third in the east.

That time not only is a program-best, but secured the junior's spot at nationals as well. In the 5000, she was fifth in the East behind a time of 17:19.42, which she achieved at the Conference England Championships April 24.
