Hall of Fame Feature: Taryn Torgerson

Taryn Torgerson is part of the 2024 Pizza Hut Shocker Sports Hall of Fame induction class. The class will be inducted on Sun., Jan. 28.

When Taryn Torgerson graduated from Wichita State, she gave coach Tom McCurdy a six-sided dice made of wood, over-sized and decorated with Shocker colors.

For Torgerson and McCurdy, rolling the dice is a teaching tool for the game of golf.

Torgerson grew up with the game, thanks to her father, and refined her skills as a Shocker. The gift of the dice is a tribute to one of the drills McCurdy used to bring out the best in a golfer who didn't always make the traveling team as a freshman.
