2. Via our social media channels, we're looking back at our favorite feature stories of 2020, including a heartwarming tale about Kerrigan Miller and her brother, Sully. Miller, an All-American at USC and a member of the U.S. national team, will spend her final college season at North Carolina.
"The story of the Miller family — specifically the relationship between @SurferKerr and Sully — is so heartwarming. Watching them interact and laugh together gave this piece so much more life." — @kennydejohn https://t.co/TA1z7Lbll8
