Way to go Miles

Congratulations to Miles Smith for an extraordinary season representingSoutheast Missouri State University. It is unfortunate his goals will not be fully realized this year due to a hamstring injury, but his hard work will eventually bring him some unbelievable honors.

A hero to many

I WANT to personally thank Miles Smith for his hard work and effort. I also want to thank him for giving an autograph to my daughter, Megan, as well as meeting his mother and sister. They are very good people. As a former long distance runner, I understand. Miles is considered a hero in our family along with a lot of other people. We will all keep him and his family in our prayers. After watching Mr. Smith run, I believe he can set a world record. Don't give up. One day, we will watch you on TV and my little girl will say, "That's Miles!!!!!!!!!!"
