Caravaggio was famous for his spotlight effect in his paintings. It added a dimension return to normal subject into a masterpiece. The spotlight is on Miranda Tucker<\/strong> this year, and she is looking to finish with a masterpiece.<\/p>\n

Tucker, a Michigan senior, knows all about Caravaggio and his masterpieces. As an art history major, she has learned about all kinds of artists throughout history, but has a special affinity for Caravaggio.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only is he one of the staple artist of the Baroque period, he sparked and set off the period after starting in the Renaissance. He was kind of a bad boy that did controversial things that make you laugh,\u201d Tucker told Swimming World<\/em>. \u201cWith more religious works, he takes religious scenes that mostly are depicted as really shining, beautiful, out of this world \u2014 something untouchable \u2014\u00a0and makes them mundane. He takes beautiful things, and makes them mundane. They are still beautiful but it is like they could happen to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

That is how Tucker is swimming, turning in elite races that could happen to anyone \u2014\u00a0but they are happening for her. She won the Big Ten Championship in the 100 breaststroke and heads to NCAAs with high hopes after her time of 58.15, the third fastest in the country this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people say that when you are a senior, you swim faster because you are in that last-season mentality. I am definitely in that place right now,\u201d Tucker said. \u201cI have been swimming faster during the season than I ever had before. I had never broken 59 before at midseason and I went 58 lows. I am really happy with how I have been doing. It is my senior year. I have the mentality that I am going to do my best every single day and see where that takes me. The past four years, I have been almost there but not quite. Everyone wants to win because we are swimmers, but I have always been just a place or two off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tucker has been the NCAA runner-up multiple times and started her career at Indiana, swimming breaststroke with Olympic gold medalist Lilly King<\/strong>, who has put Tucker and the rest of the U.S. breaststrokers a little in the shadows.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never been that deeply bothered by it,\u201d Tucker said. \u201cSometimes I feel like an underdog.\u00a0I still need to build up my confidence and remind myself that I can do this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The same mantra can be said for the Wolverines<\/a>, who finished third at the NCAA championships last year but graduated a ton of points. Based on the NCAA psych sheet this year, they are seeded to get fifth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the beginning of the year, we didn\u2019t have the expectation of being champions (after graduating so many key swimmers),\u201d Tucker said. \u201cBut I watched these freshman and sophomores work harder and harder and I see so much improvement and now somehow we (have been) ranked No. 1 \u2026 holy crap!\u201d<\/p>\n

Part of the team boost has been Tucker\u2019s part in the relays. She has been the breaststroker for Mike<\/strong> Bottom<\/strong>‘s Wolverines in both medley relays the past two years, but now is playing a part in freestyle as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe lost a lot of freestylers.\u00a0In my 50 free, I have dropped a second in the past year. I am very honored to be on the free relays,\u201d she said. \u201cThere are times I get worried about not bringing it home for the team in my freestyle, since I am a breaststroker doing freestyle, but I am working really hard and willing to do everything I can to get some more points for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

All of the extra work can take a toll on Tucker, who has also quietly been dealing with Hashimoto disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cHashimoto disease is of the thyroid. It is where your antibodies see your thyroid as a threat and they attack it. I don\u2019t have a working thyroid. I have to take a tiny pill every day for the rest of my life. But it is well under control,\u201d she said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t have a huge effect on me except for the fact that I get fatigued faster than most people. So because of that, when we are in heavy grinding training, I take an extra morning of rest, and that works. The 58.4 (midseason) left me happy and very surprised. My stroke has just been feeling really good.\u201d<\/p>\n

When she is feeling good, or even when she isn\u2019t, Tucker is able to channel her feelings and emotions through her art.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always been artistic. I used to doodle on the back of my exams, and teachers started grading those, too, just being fun,\u201d she said. \u201cThat love never faded. I started getting sketchbooks and eventually a digital tablet.\u00a0 Drawing has always been a hobby, but it is something I do to pass time, or when I am stressed. It is a great outlet of emotions. If you are having a bad day, just draw something sad.\u201d<\/p>\n

But there have been many more happy memories built since Tucker transferred to Michigan and made art history her major.<\/p>\n

\u201cArt history has always been something I loved, but not something I took classes in until I got to Michigan. I took an art history class when I transferred just for fun, but I fell in love with it. I had always loved art, but never knew the history behind it. I just loved the pretty pictures. Learning the history is so cool,\u201d she said. \u201cI definitely could see myself being a museum curator. That might be a little far off in the future. There are other things that are exciting like restoration. It takes knowledge of the history but also a very steady hand and patient person. I finally realized I love it and I am only going to live once. I am going to major in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cLife is too stressful to do majors that make you even more stressed. I would rather be happy and art history makes me happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Miranda Tucker is hoping she can put together another masterpiece at the NCAA championships.<\/p>\n
