Kim Knuth is considered by most observers to be the greatest women's basketball player in UT history and perhaps the best ever in the Mid-American Conference. Knuth was a two-time MAC Player of the Year (1997-98 and 1998-99), a three-time first-team All-MAC selection and the MAC Tournament MVP in 1999. She was named honorable mention All-America by AP in 1998-99. Knuth was also named Academic All-America in 1997-98 and was a three-time Academic All-MAC selection. She is Toledo's all-time leading scorer (2,509 points), and is eighth in rebounds (779) fourth in assists (484) and first in steals (368). She led the team in scoring as a sophomore (20.4), junior (22.0) and senior (25.4). Knuth, who is also the MAC's all-time leading scorer, played on NCAA Tournament teams in 1996, 1997 and 1999, and on the WNIT team in 1998. She married former Rocket football player Ryan Klaer following her graduation from UT.
