Torri Huske is an 18 year-old swimmer from Arlington, Virginia. At this year’s Summer Olympic Games, she finished fourth in the 100-meter butterfly final, just one one-hundredth of a second behind Emma McKeon of Australia.
Huske came back to win a silver medal in the 4×100-meter medley relay, along with Regan Smith, Lydia Jacoby, and Abbey Weitzeil.
Huske graduated from high school this year and will soon be headed to Stanford. She’s likely to be a major force at the next Olympics in three years.
Huske is a patriot with even more reason than most to love America. According to this story in the Washington Post, her mother Ying is a native of China whose family was “relocated” during the Cultural Revolution. Eventually, she made it to the U.S. and, following college, worked for the U.S. Navy in IT.
When her daughter Torri made the Olympic Team, Ying said, “I feel like I’m living out my American Dream.”

Also interesting in that Arlington is just about lib / left central in the DC area. Almost as bad as Montgomery County, MD.
