For 2016 Summer Olympic hopeful Chris Miller, the USA Canoe and Kayak Sprint National Championships are a spirited and friendly competition, and not the demanding slate of rigorous competitions in Europe he’s already been exposed to this summer. Miller likes this weekend’s competition to proudly display waters at the Lake Lanier Olympic Venue, and home course of the Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club, but this docket of races on Lanier was more about reconvening with old friends. “This (Lake Lanier) is the best venue for racing in the world,” said the 22-year-old Miller, who is from Gainesville, and specializes in the one-person and K-2, 1,000 meter distance.
