"She then began her BYU career and would go on to claim 11 All-America honors as a Cougar."[2] She competed for the BYU swimming and diving team, in the individual butterfly and individual-medley events, in 1977-1979 and 1981, as she interrupted her collegiate career to train for the 1980 Summer Olympics but did not compete because of the U.S.-led boycott of the Moscow Games.[3] As a Senior she was selected Outstanding Senior Female Athlete by the Cougar Club and was named to the AIAW All-Region Team. She continued to compete through 1981 but retired after that year.
