Torri Huske, a reshirt senior from Stanford University, has been named the Honda Sport Award winner for Swimming & Diving for the Class of 2026, as announced today by Chris Voelz, Executive Director of The Collegiate Women Sports Awards (CWSA) presented by Honda.

The announcement comes during a landmark moment for the organization, as the CWSA celebrates its 50th anniversary during the 2025-26 collegiate athletics season. For five decades, the Honda Sport Award has honored the nation’s top women athletes in 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports, symbolizing “the best of the best in collegiate athletics.” Huske is now a finalist for the prestigious Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and Class of 2026 Honda Cup, to be presented live on Monday, July 27, at 7 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Network.

Huske was selected via a nationwide vote of administrators from over 1,000 NCAA member schools. The other finalists for this year’s award were Lucy Bell (Stanford), Claire Curzan (Virginia) and Sophie Verzyl (South Carolina).

Torri Huske, a redshirt senior from Arlington, Va., was named the 2026 CSCAA Division I Swimmer of the Year after a standout season for Stanford. She captured three individual national titles at the NCAA Championships in the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, and 100 butterfly, bringing her career total to five.

Huske posted the second-fastest times ever by a woman in both the 50 and 100 freestyle this season and is now a 28-time All-American and seven-time program record holder. She helped lead Stanford to a runner-up finish at the 2026 NCAA Championships and is a 19-time conference champion across the ACC and Pac-12.

A two-time U.S. Olympian, Huske has earned six Olympic medals (three gold, three silver) and 20 World Championship medals. Her success extends to the classroom, where she earned CSC Academic All-American recognition and CSCAA Scholar All-America honors.

“What a remarkable achievement for Torri to be named one of the best student-athletes in the NCAA,” stated Chris Lindauer, Paul A. Violich Director of Women's Swimming at Stanford. “As one of the best swimmers in the history of our sport, it was fantastic to see Torri wrap up her final college season with three individual NCAA titles. Torri gives it her all every day and is always searching for new ways to improve. Most importantly, her leadership for our team and our sport as a whole helps elevate and inspire future generations to dream. Congratulations, Torri!”

As the CWSA marks its 50th anniversary, the organization continues its longstanding mission to honor excellence in athletics, leadership, academics, and community service. Since 1986, Honda has contributed more than $3.4 million in institutional grants to support women’s athletics programs nationwide.
