The Arlington County government will welcome home and honor swimmer Torri Huske for her recent standout performance at the Summer Olympics in Paris during a 45-minute ceremony on Sunday, Aug. 25 at 3 p.m. at the Long Bridge Park pool.
Huske, a 2021 Yorktown High School graduate, won five medals at the Games. She won three relay medals (two golds and a silver) and in individual races won a gold and a silver.
Huske also was a standout swimmer at Yorktown, never losing an individual postseason tournament race in a district, region or state final during her high-school career, setting multiple records on different levels and leading the team to district, region and state championships. Huske now swims in college at Stanford University, where she is a standout, as well.
The Aug. 25 event also will be a fundraiser for the Arlington Food Assistance Center. Those attending are asked to bring a non-perishable food item to donate.
Huske is expected to sign a few autographs during the ceremony and perhaps speak briefly to the crowd.
