3x All-American Samantha Miller Transfers To Mount Olive

Samantha Miller has found a new home after three successful seasons at Presbyterian

Former Presbyterian standout Samantha Miller entered the transfer portal in March, and now she has a new home. Miller will compete for Mount Olive next season after placing sixth, fifth, and fifth at the National Collegiate Women’s Wrestling Championships from 2021-23 at 101 pounds.

Presbyterian (located in Clinton, South Carolina) is one of four Division I schools to offer women’s freestyle wrestling. Mount Olive (located in Mount Olive, North Carolina) is a Division II university that placed 23rd at the 2023 championship tournament for all NCAA programs that offer women’s wrestling (NCWWC).

This is good news for head coach Dan Willis. The Trojans have one All-American in program history, so the addition of Miller will likely elevate the team’s output next season. 

“College is one of the most important times in your life to explore opportunities and to set yourself up for optimal success,” Miller said immediately after she entered the transfer portal. “I’ve grown and developed as a person and athlete at Presbyterian, but it’s time to further my education and athletics elsewhere to set the best future for myself.”

The Parkersburg, West Virginia, native was one of three place winners at this year’s national tournament on a Blue Hose team that placed ninth. Miller will complete her senior season of eligibility at Mount Olive and then attend graduate school. … rest of story at Flowrestling.org/articles/3x-all-american-samantha-miller-transfers-to-mount-olive
