Wistey tallied 24-event wins this year – 17 coming in the 100 and 200 breaststroke – leading the Cyclones to seven dual meet wins and the highest team finish at a conference championship in the Big 12 era.
Wistey earned her second career First Team All-Big 12 honor at the 2014 Big 12 Conference Championships with a third-place finish in the 100 breaststroke, touching in a time of 1:01.62. Wistey's senior season was accented with a career performance in Iowa State's dual meet against instate rival Iowa when the breaststroker broke four records including school records in the 100 breaststroke (1:00.46) and the 200 breaststroke (2:13.76).
