Miller poured it on down the final straightaway to beat freshman teammate Hadley Wise, who ran a 1:02.9.
Wise later won the 200 in 27.1 seconds.
Wise was not the only Valley freshman to prevail in a race as Izzy Woodruff won the 100 meters in 13.4 seconds. Woodruff was also third behind Wise and Rochester freshman Kyra Doran in the 200.
Shepherd, a regional qualifier in the 300 hurdles last year, pulled away in the final half of the race to beat runner-up Addison Albright from Triton and third-place finisher Audrey Wagner from Rochester. She also won the 100 hurdles in 16.4 seconds to beat Albright by 0.9 seconds.
