Miller to swim at NCAAs
The meet, which started yesterday and runs through tomorrow, pits swimmers from across the country who beat set qualifying times.
Miller, who led Rice in almost all meets this season, qualified for three events.
She set school records in the 500-meter freestyle, the 1650-meter freestyle and the 400-meter individual medley.
She set these marks at the Southwest Conference meet, helping the team to a fifth-place finish.
Miller, a graduate from Hoover High School in Glendale, Calif., posted times of 4:48.70 in the 500 meters, 16:35.75 in the 1650 and 4:20.64 in the 400 IM.
Not only has she been a valuable asset to the women's team, she has helped out the men's team too.
"She's got really good workout habits, she swims with the guys and helps them," said team captain Chris Logar. "It's good to have someone that will always work hard."
"She pushes me really hard," said fellow freshman sensation Ginny Farmer.
Miller's teammates are optimistic about her chances at Nationals.
"She did well at the SWC meet and if that's any indication, she should do fine," said junior Erika Bowlin. "The competition is going to be better but she's good enough."
