Hutchinson had 15 top-five finishes overall on the year, and had the team's fastest 500-yard freestyle, 100-yard butterfly and 200-yard butterfly times. Hutchinson capped off her year by setting career bests in both the 100 and 200 fly at the Big 12 Championships. Her time of 54.16 in the 100 fly at the Big 12 meet broke the school record, held by Carmen Cosgrove (54.58) since 2001.

She capped her fantastic season by making the field at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Swim Trials in Omaha, joining former Husker Lauren Bailey who was also invited to the prestigious event.
