Vote for KU’s Miller, WVU’s Bohman as Big 12 Athlete of the Year

Of the many athletes nominated for Big 12 Athlete of the Year, only two are swimmers. It’s a fan-based popularity contest and the swimmers are up against a lot of football, basketball, track & field, and other great athletes with much bigger fan bases than their college swim teams. Therefore, they need your help. Voting lasts from July 19-21, 2014, so don’t put it off!
