She helped the Panthers to the men’s OVC Indoor Track Championships in 2020 and the men’s OVC Outdoor Track Championships in 2021. Larch-Miller also coached two student-athletes to the NCAA 2021 West Regional qualifiers in the high jump and triple jump. 

“We are excited to add Nikki Larch-Miller to our coaching staff and get her started with the Nebraska Track and Field program,” Pepin said.  “Nikki has done an outstanding job at Eastern Illinois and also has a background as a terrific multi-event athlete at Wichita State University.”
