Utes to Watch
Utah's Heidi Hausknecht was named WAC Swimmer of the Week for the
week of Jan. 11. Hausknecht, a junior from Salt Lake City, led the
Utah women's relay teams to three first-place finishes versus
Northern Arizona and nationally ranked Arizona State. Against
Northern Arizona, she led the 400 medley relay team and set a Wall
Aquatic Center record with a time of 4:24.75 (previously set by
Northern Arizona at 4:28.98 in 1997). Hausknecht set another pool
record in the 100 free with a winning time of 59.32 (held by Kristi
Miller of New Mexico in 1995). Against Arizona State, she was a
member of the first-place 400 medley and 400 free relays. She was
second in the 200 fly.
Both the men's and women's relay teams continue to dominate the water. At Northern Arizona, the men's relay teams won both the 400 medley and 400 free relays. The Ute women won the 400 medley relay in a Wall Aquatic Center pool record. Versus Arizona State, the Ute women won both the 200 medley and 200 free relays. Junior Troy Johnson won both the 50 and 100 freestyle events against Northern Arizona. The sprint freestyler was second in the 50 free against Arizona State. Junior Mike Greene won the 200 back versus NAU. He won the 100 fly and was second in the 100 back at Arizona State. Against the Lumberjacks, Jon Wright won the 200 IM and 200 fly. Senior Molly Lauber won the 200 breast versus Northern Arizona. She won the 100 breast and was second in the 50 free versus the Sun Devils. At NAU, Lisbeth Jensen was second in the 50 free and Erin Blundell was third in the 800 free. Crystal Gregory took second in the 1-meter dive at Arizona State.
Last Week

losing to Arizona State 154-77. The women's team is 2-4 following
