women\u2019s sabre.&nbsp; During the match, there were several calls involving Gill Litynski, that I took issue with.&nbsp; The principal issue of the dispute had to do with a situation in which Gill caused Sacred Heart\u2019s fencer to fall short and Gill made an immediate attack (without footwork) and the Sacred Heart fencer made a remise (continuation).&nbsp; The referee called the Sacred Heart\u2019s fencer actions as one attack.&nbsp; The first time, I let it go.&nbsp; The second time I asked him to explain what he saw.&nbsp; I made it clear I did not agree with his call.&nbsp; The third time, which was even more obvious, rather than confronting him, I simply took the clipboard I was holding in my hand and smacked it against the top of my forehead.&nbsp; The heavy wooden clipboard, which was a gift from the team, broke in half with a loud \u2018pop\u2019 as it hit the floor.. Even though I said nothing, the ref carded me for unsportsmanlike conduct.&nbsp; (A first in my career)&nbsp;&nbsp; Also this \u2018Clipboard Tournament\u2019 was my 1400th career win.&nbsp; \u201cAt UPenn, Sarah Hanvy\u2019s (sabre) victory against Sacred Heart pushed Miller\u2019s record past the 1,400 mark.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.entry-content -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.timeline-content -->\n\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.timeline-content-wrap -->\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li id=\"timeline-270\" class=\"timeline-post without-icon \">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"module-timeline-date tf_box tf_textr\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  December 2, 2016\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"module-timeline-dot\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"module-timeline-content-wrap tf_box tf_right\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"module-timeline-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"module-timeline-title\">    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/allamericanfencing.com\/coachronmiller\/usfca-award-of-merit\/\">USFCA Award of Merit<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"module-timeline-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/allamericanfencing.com\/coachronmiller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/miller-award-of-merit-png-908x1024-200x200.png\" alt=\"USFCA Award of Merit\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"entry-content\" itemprop=\"articleBody\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t <!-- wp:themify-builder\/canvas \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In 2016, Miller received the USFCA's Award of Merit for achievements and contributions to the national sport of fencing.
