John Miller is one of several sophomores returning to this year's squad. Both bigger and more experienced, he looks to provide a strong inside resence for the Engineers this season.

John comes to MIT from Winchester High School in Winchester, MA, where he played two years of Varsity Basketball for Coach Quinton Dale and the Sachems with present teammate Phil Murray. As a sophomore and a postseason callup, he was part of a Winchester team that reached the Division 2 North semifinals, losing to the eventual state champs from East Boston. As a senior John made significant contributions to a team that contended for a conference championship in the very competitive Middlesex League and reached the second round of the Division 2 North Championships. All in all, John led a senior class that played in the State Tournament for three consecutive seasons.

John's parents, John and Joan, are graduates of MIT while his brother, Doug, and sister, Mary, both attend the Winchester Public Schools. The Miller family figures to be at many of the Engineers' games. John also rows for MIT's Varsity Crew team in the offseason. He is looking to become a doctor or work in the Bio-Tech industry.
