Getting to Know an Eagle: Paulina Miller
YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) -- With the 2014 Eastern Michigan University gymnastics season beginning this week, junior team co-captain Paulina Miller (Halifax, Nova Scotia-Citadel High School) joins Eagle All-Access for another gymnastics edition of "Getting to Know an Eagle."
Miller has made an impact since arriving on campus two years ago. In her two seasons donning the Green and White, she has competed in every meet on the schedule, a total of 22 competitions. Last season, Miller recorded a career-high mark of 9.875 on the floor exercise at the Eagle Invitational, claiming the victory as well as the 10th-best score in EMU history. Moreover, she picked up personal-best scores of 9.750 twice on the vault. Along with competing in those two events, the Halifax, Nova Scotia native will also compete for a spot in the balance beam rotation this year.
A biology major, Miller not only found success swinging on the bars, but she is also a star in the classroom. The Mid-American Conference recognized her success as she was named Academic All-MAC Honorable Mention just a season ago.
Miller and the rest of the Eagles lift the lid on the 2014 campaign with a quad meet in Kent, Ohio, Jan. 17. The Green and White will compete against George Washington University, Rutgers University and host Kent State University. Led by veteran Head Coach Steve Wilce, EMU will take the floor beginning at 7 p.m. from the Memorial Athletic and Convocation (M.A.C.) Center in Kent, Ohio.
