The throwers are Alexandra Roberts from Hilliard, Ohio, and Samantha Gable, from Greenfield, Ind.
Roberts is ranked ninth nationally on the national outdoor high school performance list for shot put. She won the state championship in shot put as a junior and was runnerup as a sophomore.
"(Roberts) is a fantastic thrower," Ceronie said. "She came up with the best throw of her life in the state championship. She is a great competitor in the biggest meets, which is what we love about her."
Gable is the 17th ranked high school athlete in the outdoor shot put. She was a second-team All-Indiana selection. She earned the Celebrate Excellence Award four times and the Academic Achievement Award three times.
"(Gable) competes best in the state championship," Ceronie said. "We always look for kids who turn it up in the state championship."
The announcement of the recruits for field hockey was done by head coach Jill Reeve. She seemed very satisfied with the quality of the signees.
"I think the class that's coming in is probably one of our most talented classes," Reeve said. "They're exactly what I was looking for."
Among Miami's future field hockey players is forward Jackie Nguyen from San Diego, Cal. She led her high school in scoring in 2007 with 33 goals. She was named the Sierra Tournament MVP in 2007.
"(Nguyen) is probably our fastest player coming in," Reeve said. "She's a real threat around the goal. We're looking for her to contribute around the front field."
All the recruits will be looked on to lead the RedHawks beginning in 2008-09 and beyond.
