Cole Miller’s State Meet Trifecta Lifts Paint Valley To State Runner-Up Team Finish

June 3, 2023 Mike Smith

Article Presented By Hometown-Motors, Inc.

An almost super human effort by Paint Valley’s Cole Miller enabled the Paint Valley Boys team to claim state runner-up at the OHSAA Championships at OSU’s Jesse Owens Stadium Friday and Saturday.

Miller compiled 30 points for the Bearcats in winning three events. His Friday long jump of 23-5.5 took the state crown, then added a 100 dash first place finish in 10.75 and a 21.80 first place in the 200 dash on Saturday morning. The Bearcats share the runner-up slot with Columbus Grove, with Maria Stein Marion Local winning the D-3 state crown with 38 points.

Cole Miller and Paint Valley Track Coach Ki Pulliam are slated to be guests on Litter Media Facebook LIVE- Special Edition at 10am Tuesday, June 6th.
