Competing in Health and Sport: The Story of Rylee Miller

From running in a small town in Jefferson, Wisconsin, to running at Drake University, Rylee Miller has always been an athlete, has always competed, and has always succeeded at a high level in athletics. 

Not only has he competed at a high level in athletics, but he’s also had to compete with his health and well-being, which is something that he has more than succeeded in. 

In elementary school, Rylee found out that he had a heart condition called Ventricular Dyssynchrony. This is a condition where the heart has narrowed blood vessels and the chambers of the heart struggle to pump blood at the correct time, causing difficulty doing basic tasks and possibly losing consciousness.
