LEXINGTON, Ky. – Fifth-year Torie Buerger has been named to the inaugural Allstate NACDA Good Works Team (Winter) after being selected from a pool of nearly 200 student-athletes of every level for her exceptional achievements in community service, athletics, and academics.
Buerger has always been a standout both in and out of the pool for the Wildcats. She has contributed more than 200 hours of volunteer service; mentoring children, volunteering at God’s Pantry and The Ronald McDonald House, and supporting local schools. She is a four-time SEC Academic Roll honoree, a 2024 Olympic Trials qualifier, and always strives to put her all into anything she does.
“These student-athletes embody the best of collegiate athletics—not just in competition, but in leadership, service and impact,” said Elizabeth Brady, Allstate’s chief marketing, customer and communications officer. “From youth empowerment to mental health advocacy, their work changes lives.”
“NACDA is honored to collaborate with Allstate to expand the Good Works Team program and recognize student-athletes across all sports and all divisions,” said Pat Manak, NACDA’s chief executive officer. “This initiative provides a national platform for our members to shine a light on the positive and inspirational stories happening at all levels of intercollegiate athletics during a pivotal time in our industry. Congratulations to the student-athletes and institutions represented on the inaugural Winter Team, and we look forward to continuing the process in the seasons to come.”
