Torri Huske on Balancing Life as a Pro, Working Toward Master’s Degree at Stanford

NCAA Champion Torri Huske has finished her NCAA eligibility as an athlete, but not much has changed in a practical sense. Huske still has another year of school left, working toward her master’s degree at Stanford as well as continuing to train for swimming.

Hard not to root for someone like her, competing at the highest level and positioning herself for life after LA28. Let’s go Torri!

I’ve gotten pretty sick of the Torri Huske era. Thankfully, I don’t think she’ll qualify for the 2028 Olympics because of an influx of new talent in her key events.

Wow. I genuinely feel she doesn’t get the credit she deserves. I think she’s great.

You’re absolutely right, she never gets the credit she deserves and she’s done basically everything you can do
