2018 WINTER ALL-MET
The first freshman, male or female, to earn All-Met Swimmer of the Year honors, Huske burst onto the scene for Yorktown with the area’s fastest times in the 50-yard freestyle (22.39 seconds) and 100 butterfly (52.64). Both are automatic all-American times and rank second all-time for an area high school swimmer, trailing only NCAA champion (and former Swimmer of the Year) Janet Hu. Huske also had the third-fastest time in the 100 freestyle (50.60).
