Only a junior, Ell-Saline’s Hailey Miller has made great strides on the wrestling mat. She was ranked No. 6 at 235 in the January 27th Kansas Wrestling Coaches Association rankings.
“So far my season has been very eye opening and overall a fun time,” Miller said. “I have learned and accomplished so much this season and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for me in the following weeks to come.”
Miller has been focusing more on how she conducts herself and how she deals with adversity more than results or wins.
“My goals for this season are to push myself and to be a good role model and overall person to be around on and off of the mat and my last goal for the season is to just keep pushing forward and to give it all I have,” Miller said.
There have been times this season where Miller could have gotten down on herself or felt sorry for herself. But she turns the negativity into positivity.
This season I have worked myself extremely hard to accomplish the goals that I have set for myself,” Miller said. “One thing I hope to improve on is my attitude towards myself after a bad match.”
