  • Squad Energy (NCAA Women)
    Apr 1 2026

    In this episode of Unfiltered Waters, Katie Hoff and Elizabeth Beisel sit down with four of the biggest names in NCAA swimming: Anna Moesch (Virginia), Torri Huske (Stanford), Jillian Cox (Texas), and Camille Spink (Tennessee) for a special “Squad Energy” edition filmed just days before the NCAA Championships. From pre-meet traditions and team speeches to accountability, leadership, and what truly makes a championship culture, each athlete shares what drives their team behind the scenes. You’ll hear about Virginia’s push for history, Stanford’s resilience, Texas’s family-first mentality, and Tennessee’s unmatched energy on deck, all while getting a glimpse into the personalities, routines, and moments that fuel performance when it matters most. This is the side of NCAA swimming you don’t always see: the chemistry, the culture, and the squad energy that powers it all.
