## Technique
Huske's 100-meter butterfly is built around a single turn in the long-course version of the race, and she has described executing good turns as a frequent struggle even for swimmers of her speed.[8](https://www.usms.org/fitness-and-training/articles-and-videos/articles/how-to-swim-the-100-butterfly-like-olympian-torri-huske) Her range extends beyond the fly: her personal-best results include a 51.73 in the 100-meter freestyle and 24.08 in the 50-meter freestyle in short course, and she has recorded competitive times in backstroke, breaststroke, and individual medley events.[2](https://www.worldaquatics.com/athletes/1190607/torri-huske)
