Miller achieved All-American honors for the fourth time in her career after transferring from Presbyterian to join the Trojans this year. She becomes just the second women's wrestler to garner the honor in program history. Miller delivered an opening round 10-0 tech fall over Ivy Threatful of Simon Fraser before defeating Adriana Gomez of Colorado Mesa by a 10-0 tech fall. In the quarterfinal, she fell to No. 1 ranked Kendra Ryan of North Central before answering back with a pin against Abby Dukeof Elmira.

On Saturday, Miller received a victory in the fifth-round consolation due to injury before advancing to the semifinals. She overcame an 8-0 deficit in the first period and scored six straight points before pinning Jaslynn Gallegos of North Central, a defending national champion. In the third-place match, Miller avenged her quarterfinal loss and defeated No. 1 ranked Kendra Ryan of North Central with a first-period fall to claim third place, the highest individual finish for a UMO women's wrestler at nationals.
