Torri Huske Becomes First College Swimmer to Sign with TYR, Thanks to New NIL Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n

In one of the most impressive performances of this year\u2019s U.S. Olympic Trials, 18-year-old Torri Huske<\/strong> dominated the women\u2019s 100 butterfly, going out under world-record pace and setting an American record as she qualified for her first Olympic team. Six week later, Huske was in the hunt for gold in the event at the Tokyo Olympics up until the bitter end, only to finish fourth, one hundredth away from the bronze medal and just 0.14 away from gold<\/a>. Later in the week, she would earn her first Olympic medal as she provided the butterfly leg on the U.S. women\u2019s 400 medley relay, which captured a silver medal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And now, Huske is making more history as one of the first swimmers to sign a sponsorship deal while maintaining her NCAA eligibility. Huske will begin her college career at Stanford University next month, but taking advantage of new NCAA rules that allow student-athletes to monetize on their name, image and likeness (NIL) rights<\/a>, Huske has signed a deal with swimwear company TYR. Huske wore a TYR suit in her races at the Olympics.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited, and I could not be more thankful for this opportunity and for TYR\u2019s support as I pursue my goals in my passion, and I look forward to a long relationship with TYR in the future. It\u2019s very exciting that I get this opportunity,\u201d Huske said. \u201cI\u2019ve worn other suits before, but at training camp in Hawaii, we suited up at practice one day, and in the middle of practice, I did a 100 fly, and I swam super-fast in the TYR suit. I wanted to try it out just to see. That\u2019s partially the reason why I decided to swim in TYR, because I felt really good in their suit.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While Huske is the first college athlete on TYR\u2019s roster of sponsored swimmers, she joins an impressive group that includes three of her teammates on the U.S. women\u2019s Olympic team, Katie<\/strong> Ledecky<\/strong>, Simone<\/strong> Manuel<\/strong> and Lilly<\/strong> King<\/strong>. Huske said that she began speaking with TYR about a deal before the Olympics, and she even got a recommendation for TYR from Ledecky at the Olympic team training camp.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are beyond thrilled to have Torri as a member of the TYR family,\u201d TYR Sport CEO Matt Dilorenzo said in a presss release. \u201cAs TYR\u2019s first NIL athlete, Torri will have the opportunity to represent the brand at both international and national level competitions and pro meets. A fierce competitor, Torri\u2019s grit and tenacity aligns perfectly with our core company values, and her talent and potential is unmatched as we look towards Paris.”<\/p>\n

The NCAA rule change allows Huske an opportunity not previously afforded to swimmers, to compete collegiately and represent a university while profiting off her likeness and her swimming success. After the 2016 Olympics, Manuel returned to Stanford and Ledecky joined Manuel on the Farm, and both competed collegiately through the 2017-18 season before choosing to go professional. King returned from Rio to Indiana University and swam all three of her remaining years of NCAA eligibility.<\/p>\n

Each of those three won multiple gold medals in Rio, and all turned down substantial profits, between medal money and endorsement deals, to continue to swim in college. Missy<\/strong> Franklin<\/strong> faced the same dilemma after the 2012 Olympics, and she remained an amateur to swim two years at Cal before going pro. But now, Huske and her fellow NCAA-eligible swimmers \u2014 including Olympic and Stanford teammate Regan<\/strong> Smith<\/strong> \u2014 can profit where their predecessors could not.<\/p>\n

Given the circumstances, Huske is understandably thrilled about the change. \u201cObviously, it\u2019s really beneficial to me, so I really am a fan of it. I think that I\u2019m very fortunate. I don\u2019t know what else to say other than how lucky I am because it\u2019s falling into place at this time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Huske\u2019s Olympic Experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When Huske looks back on her first Olympic Games<\/a>, she will fondly remember the two-week training camp in Hawaii \u2014 \u201cIt\u2019s not a vacation. It\u2019s a lot of work, and it\u2019s a lot of training, but it\u2019s also a lot of fun,\u201d she said \u2014 and walking through the Olympic village and seeing the flags of different countries adorning the different buildings. In the village, Huske livedwith roommate Rhyan<\/strong> White<\/strong> and suitemates Lydia Jacoby<\/strong>, Claire<\/strong> Curzan<\/strong>, Catie<\/strong> DeLoof<\/strong>, Erika<\/strong> Brown<\/strong>, Katie<\/strong> Grimes<\/strong> and Bella<\/strong> Sims<\/strong>, and the group bonded over card games like Uno.<\/p>\n

Regarding her performance, Huske is not upset, but getting fourth place in the 100 fly by one hundredth certainly stung and still stings. \u201cThere were definitely things I could have done better at the meet, but I feel like this will help me,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m happy that things happened the way they did happen, even though getting fourth, it obviously really hurts. But I don\u2019t know if I would have it any other way because I feel like I took away so much from the meet and I learned so much that I feel like I will be even more motivated in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Huske then had four days off racing before she returned to the pool for the mixed 400 medley relay<\/a>. The Americans ended up a disappointing fifth after they employed a different strategy to the rest of the field. Huske swam the butterfly leg and touched eighth by a wide margin after her leg, leaving Caeleb Dressel<\/strong> racing seven women but a whopping eight seconds to make up. Huske said that she did not feel like she was battling massive wake despite being so far behind, but she admitted she was completely in her own zone.<\/p>\n

Huske was so zeroed-in that as she tracked Jacoby into the wall at the end of the breaststroke leg for the relay exchange, she did not notice that Jacoby\u2019s goggles had fallen down into her mouth.<\/p>\n

The week of racing in Tokyo<\/a> was emotional and draining, and that culminated with the women\u2019s 400 medley relay, where Jacoby gave the United States a lead with her breaststroke split, but Australia\u2019s Emma<\/strong> McKeon<\/strong> closed down on Huske and star relay anchor Cate<\/strong> Campbell<\/strong> got past American anchor Abbey<\/strong> Weitzeil<\/strong> to win gold for Australia. The relay brought intense emotions for the U.S. foursome (that also included Smith on backstroke) a combination of joy in winning an Olympic medal (Huske\u2019s first), disappointment in coming up short in such a tight finish and ending up just 0.13 away from gold and even relief that a long Olympic campaign was finished.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a really cool moment. It was really emotional for all of us. I feel like seeing Abbey get so emotional right after she got out of the water was almost comforting, in a way, because I feel like we all felt what she was feeling. In a way, it was comforting knowing we\u2019re all going to the same thing and we all felt the same way. We got second by 0.13, and that was really hard. In the heat of the moment,\u201d Huske said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like, \u2018What could I have done better?\u2019 I feel like we all took a step back and were like, \u2018This is amazing that we got silver. This is so cool.\u2019 At least that\u2019s how I thought. I can\u2019t see the rest of them, but that\u2019s how I viewed it. I wanted to go faster for the team, and I was kind of upset that I didn\u2019t. 0.13, that\u2019s nothing. I feel like I kind of had to take a step back and realize that this is a really amazing accomplishment, and everyone swam so well on that relay. And Abbey brought it home like a champ. She did so well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Huske is on a break from swimming, resetting before she heads off to Stanford next month to begin her college career, with the support of her new sponsor TYR. She was able to connect with Stanford coach Greg<\/strong> Meehan<\/strong> while at the Olympics as Meehan was both head coach of the U.S. women\u2019s team and Huske\u2019s personal coach in Tokyo, while both were in contact with Huske\u2019s club coach at Arlington Aquatic Club, Evan<\/strong> Stiles<\/strong>. Even though Huske leaves soon for the west coast, she admitted that she is a little behind on her preparations for the big move.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Huske is fired up about being part of an exciting future for the U.S. women\u2019s swim team. With 10 teenagers competing in Tokyo and only three years to go until the next Olympics in Paris, many of those competitors could be back representing the United States in 2024 with the valuable experience of racing through the difficult, pandemic-affected Tokyo Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really exciting for the future, just think of how fast this team is going to be,\u201d Huske said. \u201cThese are the people who I\u2019m going to be going on trips with in the future, and I\u2019m so happy that I got to know them. And I think it\u2019s so exciting for the future of swimming and seeing what we\u2019re going to do. Because I know we\u2019re all capable of going faster and that we\u2019re still improving, so it\u2019s very exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Check out the full press release from TYR announcing their signing of Huske below:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

TYR Sport is proud to announce the signing of Olympic Silver Medalist and American Record Holder Torri<\/strong> Huske<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are beyond thrilled to have Torri as a member of the TYR family,\u201d said Matt<\/strong> Dilorenzo<\/strong>, CEO of TYR Sport. \u201cAs TYR\u2019s first NIL athlete, Torri will have the opportunity to represent the brand at both international and national level competitions and pro meets. A fierce competitor, Torri\u2019s grit and tenacity aligns perfectly with our core company values, and her talent and potential is unmatched as we look towards Paris. \u201d<\/p>\n

In 2019, Huske burst onto the swim scene at the World Junior Championships winning six medals: five gold, and one silver. Her success continued at the 2021 Trials, where she clocked a 55.66 in the 100 fly to punch her ticket to Tokyo in American-Record fashion. With a time of 55.73 in the 100 fly final in Tokyo, Huske narrowly missed the podium by .01, and was only .14 away from Gold. She finished the competition strong, helping the U.S. to a silver medal in the 400 medley relay final.<\/p>\n

\u201cTYR initially caught my eye a few years ago when I looked around and noticed that many of the best swimmers were wearing their suits,\u201d said Huske. \u201cI later realized that we shared a similar vision of inclusivity and that their ideals of growing the sport aligned with mine. TYR\u2019s innovative technology felt fast in the water and I was so proud to wear it while representing the United States at the Olympics. I could not be more thankful for this opportunity and for TYR\u2019s support as I pursue my goals and share my passion for the sport with others.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a member of team TYR, Huske will join sponsored swimmers including Olympic Medalists Katie<\/strong> Ledecky<\/strong>, Simone<\/strong> Manuel<\/strong>, Ryan Lochte<\/strong>, Lilly King<\/strong>, Michael<\/strong> Andrew<\/strong>, Annie<\/strong> Lazor<\/strong>, Townley<\/strong> Haas<\/strong>, Melanie<\/strong> Margalis<\/strong>, Tom Shields<\/strong> and Kelsi<\/strong> Dahlia<\/strong>, as well as Olympians Nic<\/strong> Fink<\/strong>, Jordan<\/strong> Wilimovsky<\/strong>, Molly<\/strong> Hannis<\/strong> and Ashley<\/strong> Twichell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Since its inception three decades ago, TYR Sport has grown to exist as one of the world\u2019s most recognizable swimming and triathlon brands. Founded in Huntington Beach, California, the American company has garnered industry success for major technologies including the celebrated Venzo technical suit. Today, TYR has become synonymous with the most groundbreaking athletes in swimming and continues to be the choice of champions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
