Knutson Comeback

After half a year away from the pool, former national team member and Minot native Dagny Knutson made waves in the swimming community at this weekend's Minneapolis Grand Prix.

Knutson was on track to become one of the best female swimmers in history when she stepped away from swimming in January to deal with an eating disorder.

Two rounds of treatment and nearly six months of rest later, Knutson returned to the pool in time to compete in this year's Grand Prix season.

And her comeback tour kicked off at the Minneapolis Grand Prix, where she made it clear that she means business...
