Hall of Fame
A standout on the vault and floor exercise in the mid-90s, Heather Fitch was a two-time national champion in the floor exercise and a key member of the national championship team in 1994. Called by Head Coach Jerry Connolly as one of the top “spinners” in the program’s history, Fitch wowed her teammates and the Gustie faithful with her speed and tumbling on the floor exercise mat and she is the only individual in the storied history of the Gustavus gymnastics programs to win two national titles in floor exercise. In 1994, Fitch claimed her first floor exercise title with a school and national championship record score of 9.6. A year later, she would claim her second title with score of 9.5. Fitch would play a key role in helping the Gusties win the national title in 1994 and finish fourth in 1995. As talented in the class room as she was in the gym, Fitch was named to the National Collegiate Gymnastics Association (NCGA) National All-Academic Team in 1996.
After graduating Magna Cum Laude in 1996 with a major in management, Fitch entered the financial services industry and for the past 15 years she has been employed as a Senior Registered Client Associate with UBS Financial Services in St. Paul. Heather and her husband Brad Krussow live in Little Canada, Minnesota.
