Lycoming College

Finishing her career in the top 10 in scoring in the basketball program's history and the top five in hits in the softball program's history, Jennifer (Shuler) Miller '99 was one of the best all-around athletes at the college during her four years, which culminated when she was selected as the 1999 Pocahontas Award-winner as the college's most outstanding female athlete. In softball, Shuler played catcher, third base, shortstop during her career before finally settling in at first base, where she earned Second Team All-Freedom League honors in 1999, when she hit .381 with 26 runs, six doubles, three triples a homer and 21 RBI in 29 games. The Milton, Pa., native hit better than .300 all four years of her career, finishing fifth in school's career record book in batting average (.348), second in slugging percentage (.572), third in RBIs (67), fourth in runs scored (73) and eighth in on-base percentage (.407). She was also the second player in program history to reach 100 career hits, finishing her career with 101, which is still 10^th in the softball record book. She helped the team reach the Middle Atlantic Conference Tournament in all four years of her career, leading the team to the championship game in 1996 and '99, as the Warriors posted a 75-30 record in her career, including setting a school-record with an .815 winning percentage thanks to a 22-5 record in 1997. The Warriors also finished in first in the Freedom League twice in her career. In basketball, Shuler was just as accomplished, posting 916 points in her career, becoming the eighth player in school history to reach 900 career points. The 5-8 guard set the school-record for most career three-point field goals with 126, a mark that stood for seven years, and is one of two players to lead the team in three-point field goal percentage for three consecutive years (1997-99). Shuler helped Lycoming to a 59-42 record during her career, helping the team to three appearances in the conference tournament and a bid to the 1997 NCAA Division III Tournament. The 1998 Sol "Woody" Wolf award as the college's most improved junior athlete, Shuler was also a two-time member of the MAC Academic Honor Roll in both basketball and softball as a criminal justice major.
 
After graduating, Shuler moved to Harrisburg, where she has been employed by Dauphin County Probation Services-Juvenile Division for the past 17 years. She is an assistant supervisor in the Community Based Supervision Unit and continue to work directly with delinquent youth. She married Greg Miller in 2000 and the couple have two children, Lauren and Brett. She is still active in sports, serving as an assistant coach with her daughter's travel softball team, the Cumberland County Magic. She also enjoys golf and also works with her son's "Buddy" Ball baseball team. Her son, who is autistic, plays alongside a "buddy" during his games, and the games focus on sportsmanship and fun.
