Miller, 16, has been playing volleyball for the past six years and beach volleyball for five. She hopes to play beach volleyball, which has been an NCAA-sanctioned sport since 2012, in college. Her mother, Lisa, said Miller has been looking at several schools, and will likely make a decision on which to attend this year. She was a student at Park City High School until this year when she opted to complete high school online, allowing her more time to travel and compete through her junior year. Miller said she started focusing on beach volleyball because of its relaxed atmosphere. “I love indoor (volleyball) but you’re also in a gym with whistles blowing every second, while in beach you’re outside, you’re in nature,” she said. “It’s just a good vibe; it’s fun.

She has also qualified for several national invitational tournaments throughout the season, but has struggled to find a full-time partner to compete in them with her. She said finding a teammate is one of her goals this season. “Here, in Utah, a lot of girls don’t play on Sundays or they want to play indoor as well, so finding someone who is committed is a challenge we need to figure out,” she said. Miller said she will continue to focus on developing her skills over the winter at a new indoor beach volleyball facility in Salt Lake City, and hopes to see the sport’s local community grow. range pastures for life. In contrast with past Utah roundups, no horses are expected to be returned to the range. U.S. Rep. Chris Stewart, a Republican whose district covers much of the state’s wild-horse territory, is advocating more frequent roundups and surgical sterilization of mares that would be returned to the range. Stewart repeatedly has noted that the West’s wild horses and burros far exceed the 27,000 the Bureau of Land Management has established as the “appropriate management level.” He says many horses are starving on the range, their numbers depleted by drought and overgrazing.
