Torri Huske Makes Rare Appearance in 200 Breaststroke as Stanford Tops UCLA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the past four years, Torri Huske<\/strong> has become one of the world’s premier 100 butterflyers<\/a>, a journey which culminated in Olympic gold in Paris<\/a>. Huske also excels in sprint freestyle, having won Olympic silver in the 100-meter free in Paris, and she has experienced success in the 200 IM on the national and collegiate levels.<\/p>\n

But her versatility extends further, as evidenced by Huske’s performance in the 200 breaststroke Friday as Stanford hosted UCLA. Huske clocked a time of 2:08.82, holding off a late surge by Cardinal teammate\u00a0Lucy Thomas<\/strong>, who came in at 2:08.96. Both swimmers now rank among the top-20 in the country this season, an especially significant achievement for Huske given breaststroke is probably her weakest stroke.<\/p>\n

Huske also led off Stanford’s 200 free relay in the team’s 188-111 win over the Bruins. Teammates\u00a0Lillie Nordmann<\/strong>,\u00a0Natalie Mannion<\/strong> and\u00a0Sophie Duncan<\/strong> also swam on that relay. Huske also ventured into backstroke while leading off Stanford’s 200 medley relay, splitting 24.36 in a second-place effort.<\/p>\n
