Miranda Tucker<\/strong> has been a part of the Michigan-Indiana rivalry in the pool.<\/p>\n

In fact, she has been on both sides of it.<\/p>\n

While many of the nation\u2019s elite college swimmers are looking ahead to the NCAA Championships, the Wolverines and Hoosiers will be focused on winning a Big Ten<\/a> title.<\/p>\n

The Wolverines have won three in a row, with Tucker being a part of last year\u2019s after transferring from Indiana.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rivalry has always been there. Big Tens is such a different dynamic. Dual meets are chill and NCAAs is like a USA nationals, but Big Tens is a whole different animal. You have the intensity of everyone wanting to win the conference title, but it also is the most fun meet,\u201d Tucker told Swimming World<\/em>. \u201cWe put on our tattoos and really cheer for each other. It is really memorable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tucker is looking forward to competing at the meet, which is at Indiana \u2014\u00a0her former home pool. Any nervous feelings about the venue were erased during the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe already had a dual meet this season. I was super nervous to be back on campus, but my teammates were very supportive,\u201d she said. \u201cI almost forgot I used to swim there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tucker, a breaststroker, went from training alongside Olympic gold medalist Lilly King<\/strong>, to competing against her.<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t leave Indiana because of anything specific. She just wanted to be closer to home, which is about a half hour from Ann Arbor, Michigan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a huge homebody. When everyone is a teenager, they want to get out of the house. I really missed home. Being a half hour from home helps so much with thy psyche,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She has found her passion (other than swimming) at Michigan as well, now that she is an Art History major.<\/p>\n

\u201cTons of papers lately,\u201d she said. \u201cI have already finished two and have another one on the global Baroque, trying to find the connections between countries like Caravaggio\u2019s reach to (inspire artists in) Brazil. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“I always took it as an elective when I was trying to find a major. All of my teammates go on about the majors they are passionate about, and I only got passionate about my art history classes.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Michigan\u2019s team has art majors, engineers, international students, Olympians, hometown kids and everyone in between.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all fit together like a crazy puzzle,\u201d Tucker said.<\/p>\n

And the puzzle is coming together.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been my best season yet. Not only at dual meets, but my times have actually been better than ever before. I am really looking forward to Big Tens and NCAAs,\u201d she said. \u201cPart of it is definitely a mental aspect. I am doing a major I love. I am getting comfortable in my skin with my team. It definitely propelled me in the way of motivation. I was very proud of my times at NCAAs, but I wanted more.\u201d<\/p>\n

How much more?<\/p>\n

\u201cI really want a 57.00 breaststroke. I broke 58 for the first time last year. I was 2:06 the past two years in the 200 breast. I would love to surprise myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

A surprise performance could cement a fourth consecutive Big Ten title for the Wolverines, who are looking for another trophy finish at the NCAA Championships as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
