North Schuylkill’s Luke Miller signs to St. Joseph’s for track – Pottsville Republican Herald

North Schuylkill senior track and field standout Luke Miller signed to St. Joseph’s University to compete in track and field collegiately Monday afternoon.

Miller also held college track offers from Shippensburg, West Chester, East Stroudsburg and Monmouth University before officially deciding on St. Joseph’s University.

“For me St. Joseph’s felt like home and it was the last school I visited so I’m super excited to get there,” said Miller. “I’m super grateful and excited to get to work with them.”

Miller finished this past fall leading the football team with 31 touchdowns and 2,563 rushing yards. He won gold in the 200-meter dash at the Schuylkill League meet.

“For me I enjoy the competitiveness of track and the work that goes into it,” said Miller. “I always went back and forth between football and track and track is more of a hobby for me.”

Miller also earned the Republican Herald ‘Athlete of the Week’ award after winning both the 100- and 200-meter dashes and anchoring the Spartans runner-up 400-meter relay at the Jim Thorpe Olympian Invitational last year.

“I’m going to miss the people and everyone is super kind and treats me like family here,” said Miller. “I really will miss everyone here.”

Miller joins a St. Joseph’s track program led by David Reick who knows longtime North Schuylkill coach Jack Flynn. He recently became the head coach in November of 2024.

“I’m super excited to get to work with coach (David) Reick and Jack Flynn (former North Schuylkill coach) knows him too,” said Miller. “It feels like home for me and I’m so excited.”

Miller will be majoring in physical therapy and is most looking forward to the food and living in Philadelphia.
