Huffman is the current Louisiana High School Division 4 record-holder in the both the 50 yard freestyle and 100 yard freestyle. At the 2015 LHSAA Division 4 State Meet last November, she won the 50 free with 24.03, which lowered the record of 24.33 she’d set in her sophomore season. She then won the 100 with 51.55, slicing.85 off the previous mark, which had held since 2006.

Huffman swims for Crawfish Aquatics year-round. She came in either first, second or third in all her events at the Louisiana Long Course State Championships this past July, logging new personal-bests in the 100 free, 100/200 back, and 100 fly.

Huffman will join the Kentucky class of 2021 with fellow-commits Hayley Griesser, Jaclyn Hill, Lauren Edelman, and Nora Fullenkamp.
