LINCOLN, Neb. - The University of Nebraska says that a Husker wrestler was killed in a crash in Lincoln Thursday morning.

Christian Miller, 21, of Plainview, was killed in the crash, according to Husker Athletics. He was a junior at Nebraska.

“This is a tragic and devastating loss for everyone who knew and loved Christian,” Nebraska wrestling coach Mark Manning said. “My thoughts are with his family and I pray for them in their time of grief. Christian was a young man full of energy with a bright future ahead of him. As the father of four myself, I struggle to process someone being taken from us at such a young age. It will take time for us to begin to heal as a wrestling family. We will promise to bond together as a team to honor Christian’s memory by living life to its fullest and competing as hard as possible on the mat.”

Miller owned a 15-9 career record as a Husker, including a 12-3 record in 2019-20. Miller started five duals at Nebraska in the past two seasons at 133 and 141 pounds.

Miller was a two-time member of the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll. He was a four-time state champion at Plainview High School and had a 169-2 high school career record for Coach Dean Boyer. Miller was also a two-time state qualifier in cross country at Plainview High.

Lincoln Police have not yet confirmed that this was the same crash where two people were killed near South 27th and Sewell Streets.
