Congrats to Kevin Miller – M50 8k National Champion!

The Kansas City Smoke's Kevin Miller added yet another national championship to his growing collection on Sunday by taking the M50 title at the 2012 USA Masters 8k Championships in Williamsburg, Virginia.

Since turning 50 earlier this year, Kevin is undefeated in the M50 division, dominating a wide variety of events on a national level.

Kevin also won three M50 national championships (3000m, mile and 800m) at the USA Masters Indoor Track and Field Championships in Bloomington, Indiana in March. And this was after winning the age-graded competition at the USA Cross Country Championships in St. Louis a month earlier!

Kevin's time of 26:28 was good for a 91.74% age graded effort which again was off the charts.

Way to go Kevin!
