_"Additional depth in the backstroke events is what this Purdue team needs, and that is _what we can expect and more from Kristen. Her greatest strength lies in the backstroke events, but I _foresee her fulfilling an important role in the freestyle events as well. Kristen could be a _key relay leg in the 800 and the 400 free Relays. Kristen is a very hard worker who is _ready to meet the challenges of NCAA D-I competition." - Darlene Renie
