Campus ChampionMany people know Miranda Fergus, the All-American diver and holder of several school records. She’s also Miranda the renaissance woman, an adolescence education: chemistry major who juggles a minor in art. Although she aspires to be a teacher, the senior from Pleasant Valley, N.Y., also enjoys using ceramics and sculpture as outlets for her creativity. Of course, Miranda’s talent extends to the swimming pool, where she was named Diver of the Meet at last week’s SUNYAC Championships after breaking her own school record in the 1-meter event. She’ll move on to the Regional Championships, which SUNY Cortland hosts this weekend.
