AJ Miller completed her first year at Bucknell in 2007-08. She is the program's recruiting coordinator and coached the varsity fours during the spring season. As coach of the varsity fours, Miller led the boats to a number of victories throughout the campaign, including a win over NCAA competitor Tennessee and a successful Murphy Cup showing in the varsity lightweight four event. At the Patriot League Championship, the varsity four placed second, contributing to the team's third consecutive title. At the ECAC Metro Championship, both fours (varsity and second varsity) competed in the varsity four event and came away with first- and third-place showings to help the team to its second straight sweep of the varsity events and the Overall Points Trophy. After missing the grand final by less than a second in the heats at the Eastern Sprints, Miller's varsity four turned in a tremendous performance in the petite final, finishing seventh with open water ahead of the field to contribute to the squad's strong eighth-place finish out of 18 teams at the competitive event. Miller spent 2006-07 completing her degree at William Smith while also volunteering with the men's crew team at Hobart. Prior to that, she was the head women's novice coach at Fairfield for one year. She helped guide the Stags to numerous first-place finishes, including a gold medal performance by the novice eight at the Metropolitan Intercollegiate R.A. Spring Championships in 2006. The novice four, which posted first-place showings four times throughout the season, took second at that event. Both the novice eight and novice four closed out the campaign with berths in the semifinals of the Dad Vail Regatta. From 2000 to 2002, Miller served as assistant women's rowing coach and head novice coach at Southern Methodist University. In addition to assisting the head coach in winter training, she created and applied the fitness rowing program for the team, helped coordinate travel and was instrumental in practice scheduling, regatta organization and race coordination. Miller started coaching at the college level at Colby College during the 1999-2000 campaign when she was an assistant coach for both the men's and women's crew programs. At William Smith, Miller was a four-year member of the varsity program, which earned the New York State Championship three times as well as the 1999 Division II/III national championship. She also earned the William Smith Coach's Award for sportsmanship and the Betsy Smith Award for perseverance in 1999. Following her collegiate career, Miller spent the summers of 2000 and 2002 competing with the New York Athletic Club. She trained and competed in eights, a quad and a straight four and won a silver medal in women's intermediate quad at the 2002 U.S. Rowing Nationals. Additionally, she served as a juniors coach at the New York Athletic Club. |
