Millard, a senior bowler, earned her third Class 5A-1A girls state medal last Friday at Wichita's Northrock Lanes, posting a career-best second-place finish while leading Seaman to the state team championship.
Millard bowled a 697 three-game series, including a first-game 279, after finishing fifth at the state meet as a sophomore and fourth as a junior.
Millard led the Vikings to the team championship by a 3,173-3,144 margin over Bishop Carroll.

The Highland Park junior basketball standout scored 54 points in two games last week as the Scots advanced to the Class 5A boys state tournament for the second time in three seasons.
Aldridge scored 27 points in a 78-65 sub-state semifinal victory over St. Thomas Aquinas last Tuesday to help the Scots reach the sub-state championship game.
Aldridge followed that up with another 27-point performance in Friday's 89-52 romp past Piper as Highland Park reached the 5A state tournament.
