Then Hefter led Cleveland to a sweep of the first three places in the 100 backstroke, winning in 1 minute, 6.28 seconds. Hefter started swimming the relay and backstroke back-to-back last season. ``It's a lot,'' Hefter said, ``because you do your 50, and then you have to run out, warm up, warm down, get it all together, check in and swim again.''
