KU swimmer Chelsie Miller wins Big 12 weekly award

Kansas University sophomore Chelsie Miller was named the Big 12 Swimmer of the Week by conference coaches on Wednesday.

Miller finished second (4:08.86) in the 400-yard individual medley at the USA Winter National Championships last week in Knoxville, Tenn. She also qualified for the NCAA Championships in March with a 18th-place finish (1:58.58) in the 200-yard butterfly.

Miller’s weekly award was the first of her career and the first for the Jayhawks this season.
