BOSTON – Graduate student Cameron Miller of the Purdue track & field team qualified for the final in the 200-meter at the 2024 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships on Friday evening in Boston.
Miller crossed the finish line in 20.54 seconds to earn one of eight spots in Saturday's final. He ran the sixth-fastest time overall and registered the best time in the first of four heats.
