Not sure how many of you have heard of Dagny Knutson - she's a HS swimmer from Minot. She set three national high school records this year at the ND State Meet.

She's added to her list of achievements:

There will likely be some proud North Dakotans in four years during the London Olympics.

Dagny had an unbelievable meet at Charlotte last weekend -4 GOLD MEDALS! If you watched the Olympics, it will blow your mind the company that she's with (and beat) in these articles:

And Finally, I'll let USA Today say it:
Next women's star?

Dagny Knutson, a 17-year-old from Minot, N.D., had a breakout meet, winning four events, including two in which she beat 2008 Olympian Katie Hoff.

Knutson will train the next three weeks in Colorado with Hoff and Phelps.

"It will be tough, but especially after a meet like this, I think I can handle myself pretty well," she said.

Everyone up here is very proud of her and what she has accomplished. There sure looks like there is some "gold" in her future.
