Jennings on Miranda: "Amy came to Miami as one of our recruits from the Midwest. We are very excited to add her firepower to our distance corps. She has demonstrated a huge desire to achieve, and I believe that she is nowhere near her potential yet. She has both speed and endurance, and she will will really make an impact in the Mid-American Conference."
