COLUMBIANA, OH* – Taking the leap from freshman year to sophomore can be daunting for any student-athlete, but for Crestview’s Kerrigan Miller, it’s been a transformative journey. The young volleyball talent recently opened up on YSN’s podcast about her growth, challenges, and the supportive environment that has shaped her promising career.

In just her second year on the team, Miller has already seen significant playing time, not only on the volleyball court but also on the varsity basketball floor last year. This dual-sport experience has fortified her mental tenacity, helping her adjust swiftly to the fast-paced varsity level. “Basketball definitely helped me to be more confident and prepared for this volleyball season,” Miller noted. Crestview’s volleyball program, known for its dominance and tight-knit community, has provided a nurturing yet competitive atmosphere for Miller. She emphasized the importance of the team’s family-like bond, stating, “Everyone is just so nice to everyone. There’s no problems. It just makes the sport so much more fun to play.”

Off the court, Miller is equally impressive. Balancing a rigorous academic schedule with her athletic commitments, she is already diving into college-level coursework as a sophomore, with classes like Algebra II and Understanding Music pushing her to new academic heights. Despite the challenging curriculum, she maintains a positive attitude and diligent work ethic. One of Miller’s most significant inspirations comes from the senior class of athletes, from whom she draws leadership lessons and motivation. She admires their ability to lift the team’s spirits, even during grueling practices. “They always bring people up. They were definitely the best senior class I could ask for to learn from,” she shared.

As she continues to grow both as a player and a student, Miller looks forward to the future, driven by a desire to excel and increase her playing time. Reflecting on her journey, she extends heartfelt gratitude to her support system, including her family and friends, who have been unwavering pillars of support. Kerrigan Miller is not just making magic on the volleyball court; she’s setting the stage for a bright and impactful future at Crestview and beyond. This sophomore is a shining example of dedication, perseverance, and the power of a positive environment.
