Libby Howell and Anna Miller were two of the top-ranked high school swimmers to come out of their home states in the class of 2017.
Howell, a native of Bixby, Oklahoma, and Miller, a native of St. Louis, Missouri, competed against each other as they were in the same region.
Now, they have crossed paths again as members of Missouri State University’s swimming and diving team coming off record-breaking seasons as freshmen.
And both have also grown into not only roommates but best friends outside of swimming.
“I think a lot of it went back to recruiting,” swimming and diving head coach Dave Collins said.
