Hall of Fame
Miller transferred to Hampden-Sydney from Virginia Tech in 1964. Because of existing NCAA rules, he was ineligible to wrestle or play football for a year. He started as a defensive lineman during both the 1965 and 1966 football campaigns winning the Coach’s Award his senior year. While a fine football player, he was the most successful wrestler in the history of the College. Miller was a two-time (1966, 1967) All-Mason-Dixon Conference Champion at 180 pounds. He was undefeated in dual meets and conference tournaments during both seasons and in ’67 did not allow any points to be scored against him until the tournament finals when he gave up two points to an opponent he eventually pinned. After being named Outstanding Wrestler of the Tournament, Bill advanced to the NCAA College Division Wrestling Championships and finished in sixth place, losing a close match to the eventual national champion. He is the only Hampden-Sydney wrestler ever to place in the NCAA Tournament. Miller is the president of Miller Enterprises which operates the Duck-In Restaurant in Virginia Beach, VA. He and his wife, Stuart, reside in Virginia Beach with their three children, Amy, Kate and Will, a member of the Hampden-Sydney Class of 1998.
