Hannibal, MO – The Hannibal-LaGrange University wrestling program is
pleased to have signed Rowdy Miller from John’s Creek, Georgia. Miller wrestled
for the Chattahoochee High School Cougars in John’s Creek, GA. Miller wrestled 152
lb weight class last season and is planning on wrestling in the 157 lb weight
class for the Trojans next year. Miller led the Chattahoochee Cougars in team
points scored on route to 4th place in the GHSA Class 6A State
Championships. Miller’s other wrestling accomplishments include freshmen state
champion, 8th place at Brute Nationals 2012, 4x Georgia National
Team Member, 3 times State Freestyle and Greco Runner up, and 2010 Dixie
All-American. Miller finished his High School career record with 106 wins which
put him in the 100 win club.
“Because of the distance the
first time I watched Rowdy wrestle was on the web, and when he came for his
campus visit I had a chance to see him wrestle with some of our current
wrestlers. Miller faced some injuries in his sophomore and junior season and he
stayed dedicated and overcame obstacles to finish 4th in Georgia.
His losses in the state tournament were to the state champion and state consolation
champion. He has a mental toughness and dedication that got him there. I am
impressed with his character and hard work. I can tell Rowdy has had a family
that supported him and coaches who have trained him well. Rowdy loves wrestling
and he believes in our program. He is enthusiastic about wrestling for HLGU
next year. I’m looking forward to his enthusiasm and hard work in the room”,
said HLGU Head Wrestling Coach Scott Hawes. When Rowdy was asked, “Why did you
choose to wrestle for HLGU?” Rowdy
replied, “ I felt like this school could bring me to my full potential as a
wrestler and a student.”
Miller will be majoring in Mathematics
at HLGU.
Miller is the son of Jeff and
Karen Miller.
HLGU is a Division I NAIA
(National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) school and a member of the
American Midwest Conference
