She has logged five first-place finishes this season and has placed second six times. Junior Heidi Hausknecht won four events versus Air Force and Wyoming. She won the 100 free against both schools, won the 100 fly against Wyoming and won the 50 free versus Air Force. Hausknecht leads the Utes in the 100 free and 100 fly. She has won nine events this season and was second four times. Junior Heike Kutz, who broke her own 100 back record (58.71) at the Minnesota Invite, won the 500 free versus Air Force.
