The eldest sister, Jeanne, started swimming due to her fear of the water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mom thought it was a good idea to conquer that fear and take up a useful life skill, so she encouraged me to try swimming,\u201d Jeanne said.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, her younger sister, Jessica, never possessed that uneasiness about the water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI taught myself how to swim when I was three; I saw my older siblings Jeanne and Andrew swim, and I suppose it just came second nature to me,\u201d Jessica said.<\/p>\n<p>As more Miller children were born into the family, they were each thrown into the water to give swimming a go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving eight siblings is overwhelming at times,&#8221; Jeanne said. &#8220;But, I\u2019d say as a family, we\u2019ve always loved the sport. It has become what we do and what our family is built on. The Millers breed swimmers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Having a large family seemed to be beneficial for the Millers; it meant a mutual support system between the siblings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI loved to stay and watch my younger siblings compete; we always liked to cheer for each other during meets,\u201d Jessica said. \u201cI want to be a role model for my siblings because I want them to keep swimming and make it to the college level as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swimming is something that has brought the Miller family closer; it is a common thread that they can all relate to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy parents sacrificed a lot for all of us to stick with swimming, but at the same time my parents loved it because it was something all eight of us could do together,\u201d Jessica said.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Jeanne and Jessica\u2019s family always seemed to be growing, their parents were constantly encouraging towards the sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was easy on my parents in the sense that they could pull up with a van full of kids and just let them free at the pool, instead of making several different stops at dance practice or football,\u201d Jeanne said.<\/p>\n<h2>Pursuit of Collegiate Swimming<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_117616\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/henderson-state-swimmings-miller-family-breeds-swimmers\/miller-sisters-henderson-state\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-117616\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-117616\" data-attachment-id=\"117616\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/henderson-state-swimmings-miller-family-breeds-swimmers\/miller-sisters-henderson-state\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/miller-sisters-henderson-state-e1418658795280.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"2439,1851\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 4S&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1411069703&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.28&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;320&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.05&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"miller-sisters-henderson-state\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;miller-sisters-henderson-state&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Miller Family&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/miller-sisters-henderson-state-e1418658795280-700x500.jpeg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/miller-sisters-henderson-state-e1418658795280-1024x777.jpeg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-117616\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/miller-sisters-henderson-state-e1418658795280-700x500.jpeg\" alt=\"miller-sisters-henderson-state\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-117616\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Miller Family<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After high school, Jeanne decided to attend Henderson State University, where she joined a swim team that felt like family to her. Two years later, the sisters reunited as Jessica also chose to attend HSU and pursue collegiate swimming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI honestly didn\u2019t think about swimming in college until my junior year in high school,\u201d Jessica said. \u201cBut seeing my older sister succeed in balancing swimming and school really motivated me to give it a try.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both girls agree that having each other on the same college swim team has been motivating.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving Jessica here keeps me a little more sane, because sometimes she knows me better than I know myself; she keeps me grounded,\u201d Jeanne said. \u201cI\u2019ve always loved training with Jessica as well, we both push each other a ton during practices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jessica admires her sister\u2019s work ethic towards swimming and is also positively influenced by her impactful role in the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s funny because Jeanne is team captain, so I have to take direction from her as a teammate and as a sister. But I honestly love training with Jeanne, she\u2019s such a hard worker,\u201d Jessica said.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the sisters train together most days of the week since they are both IMers. That has led to a bigger rivalry than anyone else on the team, but they still both constantly push each other to get better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI kind of know I can\u2019t slack off because I know Jeanne will pass me up if I do,\u201d Jessica said.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time having that accountability in terms of racing is motivational for both girls; it functions as an incentive for each of the girls to work harder.<\/p>\n<h2>Miller Sisters Leadership\/Accomplishments<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_117617\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/henderson-state-swimmings-miller-family-breeds-swimmers\/miller-sisters-henderson-state-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-117617\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-117617\" data-attachment-id=\"117617\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/henderson-state-swimmings-miller-family-breeds-swimmers\/miller-sisters-henderson-state-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/miller-sisters-henderson-state-2-e1418659214954.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"2072,1615\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 4S&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1414168092&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.28&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;125&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.05&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"miller-sisters-henderson-state (2)\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;miller-sisters-henderson-state (2)&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Miller Family&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/miller-sisters-henderson-state-2-e1418659214954-700x500.jpeg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/miller-sisters-henderson-state-2-e1418659214954-1024x798.jpeg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-117617\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/miller-sisters-henderson-state-2-e1418659214954-700x500.jpeg\" alt=\"miller-sisters-henderson-state (2)\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-117617\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Miller Family<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Jeanne had the honor of representing Henderson State at the 2014 NSISC National Championships as she qualified in the 200 butterfly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJeanne has come onto this team and just took off,\u201d Henderson State head coach Coak Matthews said. \u201cI recruited her as a distance and 400 IM swimmer, but now she has truly developed into more of a versatile swimmer since she\u2019s been here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeanne is a senior this year and has been HSU team captain for two consecutive years. She is also a recipient of the Bobby Cullen memorial scholarship. In order to receive this scholarship, you must be a three-time attendee of conference, be a team captain and also have made a significant impact in leadership on the team.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Matthews states that he is also impressed with Jessica\u2019s drive for swimming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJessica has come in after her sister and led by example. She\u2019s an incredibly hard worker, always has a good attitude towards others and also towards the sport,\u201d Matthews said.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica\u2019s individual goal for this year is to break the HSU team record in the 200 breaststroke, 2:22, which is only a\u00a0second off her best time.<\/p>\n<p>Matthews believes that both sisters are incredibility beneficial to the team, not only in terms of swimming but also attitude wise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think they come from such a strong, big family, and since our team considers ourselves a family, they have really done well at accepting their roles, accepting leadership and getting along with everyone so well,\u201d Matthews said.<\/p>\n<p>The Miller sisters were introduced to the smaller school atmosphere and excelled beyond expectation. Both girls are doing well balancing swimming and academics, as well as continually pouring their love into the sport that has drawn their family closer.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rachel Ewart is a junior competing at Ouachita Baptist.
