Debbie Miller Brown

Miller began to set records on the track in high school, which was an early indication of her future successes. Her greatest personal goal was to compete in the Olympics, which was realized in 1968 (when she was 17-years-old) with help from Brantford locals, who fundraised to cover the costs of her trip. She was ranked eighth in the world and was awarded a Medal of Excellence in Sports from Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
