A marble statue would be an appropriate tribute to Colorado’s latest national champion. Amy Nees of Palisade and Jamie Miller of Pittsburgh outshot 66 other children to be crowned king and queen of the marble world Thursday at the 82nd annual National Marbles Tournament in Wildwood, N.J. Nees, 13, earned her household its second consecutive title, after her brother won the boys competition last year. Nees – playing barefoot – and Miller, 11, each won a $2,000 college scholarship.
