While filming at Stanford, SwimSwam caught up with now Sophomore Torri Huske. Last summer’s world champion in the 100 fly shared her perspective with us on readjusting to life on campus in Palo Alto, her goals heading into this swim season, and how the Stanford women’s team is coming together.

Side question: any word on USA Swimming announcing the SCM Worlds roster? The initial announcement said it would be posted Oct 14.

Apparently they haven’t announced the roster because they haven’t confirmed all of the coaches yet.
Seems silly to me but I’m sure that they have their reasons.
In the real world a deadline isn’t a deadline unless there is a monetary penalty associated with missing it.
This is me being nitpicky but at what NCAA meet did Huske wear Arena gear instead of TYR who’s her sponsorship?
For most college athletes, their suit sponsorships only extend to non-NCAA competition. The team’s sponsor often trumps their personal sponsors.
That held true across the board for women’s meets, but the Foster brothers wrote Mizuno caps and suits for NCs and it seems like male athletes across the board didn’t care about what their team sponsorships were.
I don’t think Texas has a sponsor or if they do, they’re Mizuno sponsored based on how many of their swimmers wear their suits.
I couldn’t find any info about a sponsor. The women’s team was sponsored by Arena in 2014, but that was the last I saw.
My suspicion is that due to the scale of their other sponsorships (especially Nike), spending energy on trying to get a swimsuit sponsor isn’t worth the work – especially in an NIL world. The Texas athletics department does not have a literally unlimited budget…but it is everything-but-unlimited, and so a small deal that gets them $20,000 worth of suits is probably just not worth the effort, the potential brand confusion with Nike, etc. The ecosystem as a whole is probably better off attracting Olympic-caliber athletes and letting them wear their own NIL’ed suits than trying to… Read more »

#1 goal should be a quality relay start!
You’ve literally posted something about her relay start every time an article is written about her. We got it. Let it go.
