Calgary, Alberta native Jillian (Tyler) Miller became Minnesota's second women's swimming national champion, winning the 100-yard breaststroke in 2011. Miller accumulated 13 All-America awards and was a seven-time NCAA finalist as an individual. She remains the only Gopher athlete to win four Big Ten titles in the same event, taking the 100 breaststroke each year. She also won the Big Ten 200 breaststroke twice (2010, 2011). She was named the 2011 Big Ten Swimmer of the Championships. Overall she won eight Big Ten titles, swimming the breaststroke leg of the victorious 400 medley relay team in 2008 and 2010. Miller shattered the school record in both breaststroke events during her storied career and was a critical part of Minnesota's team success that included a Big Ten title in 2008.
Miller earned a spot on Team Canada in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and the 2012 Olympics in London. Miller competed in the 100-meter breaststroke, reaching the semifinals in both Games.
