Takabayashi is from Glastonbury, Connecticut.

I can&#8217;t wait to be part of the Bruno family!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Takabayashi explained her decision on her CollegeSwimming profile,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;When I first visited Brown, I could really picture myself living there and being able to call it my &#8220;home.&#8221; Everything from the college campus to the feel of the pool felt like it was made for me, and I fell more in love with the university after meeting the team. I felt like I could call everyone on the team my family, despite knowing them for only a short period of time. I couldn&#8217;t have made a better decision by choosing Brown! Go Brunos!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A two time USA Swimming Scholastic All-American, Takabayashi is fairly well rounded and excels the most in the IMs. Her top times include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>200 IM 2:02.43<\/li>\n<li>400 IM 4:21.78<\/li>\n<li>200 Back 2:02.86<\/li>\n<li>100 Breast 1:05.03<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At last year&#8217;s Ivy League Championships Takabayashi would have been a 200 IM B finalist and Brown&#8217;s highest finisher.\u00a0<strong>Zoe Phillips\u00a0<\/strong>(2:03.09 in prelims) was the team&#8217;s top finisher and would be a great training partner for Takabayashi. She&#8217;d also be a 400 IM B finalist or a 100 breast C finalist if she went in that direction for her middle day. In the 200 backstroke she would have scored points in last year&#8217;s C final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW COMMIT:\u00a0Blue Devil Swim Club&#8217;s\u00a0Miku Takabayashi\u00a0has given her verbal commitment to swim for Brown University beginning next fall.
