UC San Diego

The 2025 season is head coach Kim Graham-Miller's third at the helm of the UC San Diego track and field program. Graham-Miller is an Olympic gold medalist and was a decorated collegiate sprinter at Clemson. In 2024, Clemson inducted her into the Clemson Ring of Honor, the highest award bestowed by the school's athletic department. Graham-Miller's coaching career includes working with multiple All-Americans and conference champions.

UC San Diego Director of Athletics Earl W. Edwards announced the hiring of Kimberly Graham-Miller as the new head track & field coach of the Tritons on July 11, 2022. She took over UC San Diego's men's and women's programs after serving as an assistant coach at Sacramento State since 2014. Graham-Miller oversaw the final two years of the Triton's transition to Division I. The team became eligible for the postseason for the first time in 2025.
 
"We are pleased to welcome Kim to the Triton family," Edwards said. "Her distinguished career on the track and her proven record of developing scholar-athletes will help build upon our strong tradition of success at UC San Diego."
 
"I am excited about building a championship program and being a part of the Triton family as we continue to transition to Division I," Graham-Miller said. "It is a blessing to have this new opportunity to continue to impact young scholar-athletes so they can succeed on and off the track."

2025
In 2025, Graham-Miller led the program through a successful first season of Division I postseason eligibility. At the Tritons' first-ever Big West Track & Field Championships, three individual conference championships were captured by Tamara Aimufia (long jump), Feyi Olukanni (shot put) and the women's 4x400m relay team. Those Tritons earned All-Big West honors, as did Amari Jenkins (400m hurdles) and Kelsie Yamano (steeplechase). As teams, the Triton women took fifth and the men took seventh.

Five Tritons qualified for and competed in the First Round of the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships: Tamara Aimufia, Miles Bennett, Amari Jenkins, Sylvana Northrop and Feyi Olukanni. Anthony Flowers also earned a qualification spot but was unable to compete due to injury.

Graham-Miller's team had numerous program-best marks throughout the season. School records were set in 12 different events. The Triton women had 27 top 10 performances and the Triton men had 28. Graham-Miller also saw her scholar-athletes named Big West Athlete of the Week three times and UCU Athlete of the Week six times.

The end-of-year Triton Awards saw three track and field athletes named to the All-Triton Team: Tamara Aimufia, Anthony Flowers and Sylvana Northrop. Lauren Schiele was on the All-Academic Team and received the Triton Changemaker for Inclusion Award. The Big West named 44 of Graham-Miller's scholar-athletes to the conference's Spring Academic All-Conference Team and 82 to the Commissioner's Honor Roll. The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association also named both the men's and women's programs as All-Academic Teams.

2024
The 2024 season was the Tritons' final transition year in the move to Division I. The Triton women ended the season with 27 top 10 all-time performances at UC San Diego and two school records. The men's team had 17 top 10 results and set five school records.

Two scholar-athletes, both sprinters coached by Graham-Miller, earned Big West Athlete of the Week honors. Anthony Flowers earned the honor after winning the 200 meter dash at the Beach Opener. Amari Jenkins claimed the award after a stellar showing at home in the Triton Invite, winning the 400 meter hurdles and the 4x400 relay. Graham-Miller's team also picked up UCU Athlete of the Week honors six times.

The Tritons ended the season with a variety of recognitions. Zavier Annis was named the Mark Appelbaum Academic Scholar-Athlete of the Year at UC San Diego's Triton Awards and was joined by Sky Kezmoh and Andrew Schulz on the All-Triton Academic Scholar-Athlete Team. Also honored at that ceremony was Kate MacNaughton, who earned the Karen E. Reis Memorial Award for leadership and community service. Two Tritons, Zeno Castiglioni and Sylvana Northrop, were named to the All-Triton Scholar-Athlete Team.

Graham-Miller also guided both the men's and women's teams to recognition as All-Academic Teams by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. Both programs had the highest GPAs out of the six University of California schools earning the awards. Conference-level academic awards saw 28 Tritons named to the Spring All-Academic Team and 73 named to the Commissioner's Honor Roll.

2023
Graham-Miller's first meet at the helm of the Tritons was the Washington State Invitational in February. That weekend was also the first time that the Tritons competed in a Division I indoor meet. The Tritons also had nine outdoor events throughout the season, including hosting the Triton Invitational in April.

Three Tritons were named UCU Athletes of the Week during the year: Julia Di Silvestri (pole vault), Marcos Milla (distance) and Feyi Olukanni (throws). Milla ran 29:52.9 in the 10,000 meter event at the Bryan Clay Invitational to break a program record that had stood for 23 years.

Success also came in the classroom as the Tritons ended the year with multiple academic awards. Two were named to the All-Triton Academic Scholar-Athlete Team and 10 took home CSC Academic All-District honors. The Big West also recognized Graham-Miller's team as 42 Tritons were named to the conference's Spring All-Academic Team and 57 were named to the Commissioner's Honor Roll. Finally, both the men's and women's programs were named All-Academic Teams by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.

Coaching Career
Graham-Miller spent eight seasons as an assistant men's and women's track & field coach at Sacramento State, working with relay teams and sprints and hurdles.  During her time in Sacramento, she helped coach the Hornets to six Big Sky Conference titles.
 
Prior to joining the Sacramento State staff in 2014, Graham-Miller had coaching stops at UC Davis, Duke, Virginia and Illinois. In three seasons at UC Davis, she helped the Aggies win two conference titles while coaching four individual Big West champions and one All-American. While coaching at Duke and Virginia, she coached five All-Americans, three Atlantic Coast Conference champions and eight All-ACC athletes.

Collegiate and Professional Career 
A 1993 graduate of Clemson University, Graham-Miller was a decorated athlete for the Tigers. The team captain was a 15-time ACC champion, the most of any track athlete in Clemson history. She was named the Most Valuable Athlete for the ACC Outdoor Meet three times and is still the only woman to accomplish that feat. Graham-Miller was also a one-time ACC Indoor Track Meet MVP.

Nationally, Graham-Miller finished runner-up in the 200 meter at the NCAA outdoor championships in 1992, and finished fourth in the same event in 1991 and 1993. She was the winner of the Frank Howard Award for bringing honor to Clemson for the 1992-93 academic year.

She was inducted into the Clemson Athletic Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Clemson Ring of Honor in 2024. The Ring of Honor is the highest award bestowed by the Clemson Athletic Department. Recipients must have made an outstanding contribution to the heritage of Clemson Athletics, be a member of the Clemson Athletic Hall of Fame and a graduate of a four-year institution for consideration.
 
After graduating from Clemson, Graham-Miller took part in the 1995 Indoor and Outdoor World Championships, where she was a semifinalist in the 400 meter. Competing for the United States in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, she was a 400 meter semifinalist before capturing a gold medal as part of the 4x400 meter relay team.

One year later, in 1997, she earned gold in the 4x400 at the World Championships, and she won the 400 meter at the US Outdoor Track & Field Championships in 1998.
