Shelby Miller is receiving the 2020 Outstanding Senior Award at this Friday’s Commencement. She grew up in Cincinnati and transferred to Thomas More in the fall of 2018 to swim after competing at Wright State University for two years. She majored in exercise science with a minor in sports psychology. During her time at the University, Miller was the 2019-20 president of Student Athletic Advisory Committee, she was on the swim team, she was a leader for Delight Ministries, and she was involved in the 4C Scholar Society. Other awards she obtained for the 2019-20 year were Dean’s List, a top eight national finalist (making her an All-American), the NAIA Champions of Character Award, the NAIA Academic All Mid-South Conference Award, and Swimmer of the Week for the Mid-South Conference. Miller plans on attending the University of Tennessee for her master’s degree in sports psychology and motor behavior. She plans to work with collegiate athletes to discover effective mental strategies to improve athletic performance, discovering mental fortitude and positive attitudes, coping with life’s anxieties and stressors, and learning ways to improve the practice environment and the coach-athlete relationship.
Kevin Borg is receiving this year’s Post-Traditional Adult Undergraduate Award at this Friday’s Commencement. A new resident of California, Borg recently accepted a position with Procter & Gamble upon his graduation from Thomas More. As a US Navy veteran, Borg has served in several places around the world, including Iraq and Antarctica. He’s happily married and have three great kids, Tyler (13), Makayla (10), and Makenzie (5). In his free time, Borg enjoys playing sports, especially soccer. He will say his favorite activity, however, is spending time and making memories with his family. With his background and education, Borg plans to provide the best life he can for his family and start a nonprofit to raise money for brain cancer research since his daughter was impacted by the disease nearly four years ago.
