wow! great tigah!

The little girl was 11 and knew exactly what she would be for Halloween.

Caley Oquist dressed as an LSU football player, helmet, pads and all, ready to trick or treat in her home of Monticello, Minn. It was a way to honor her sick mom, the former Heidi Raasch, who had been an LSU swimmer.

“I was going to go to the hospital and surprise her,” Caley said, wearing an LSU football jersey that was her mom’s.

But Heidi never got to see her daughter that day. She died that morning, losing a battle with cancer that turned young Caley’s life upside down.

fast forward a decade later and Caley Oquist is now a record-setting LSU swimmer herself, holding the school’s fastest times in the 100 and 200 backstrokes and 200 individual medley and primed to go even faster in this her junior season.

Great story. Her mom would be so proud. A true Tiger. Sounds like she committed at 11 years old, LSU Swimming is lucky to have her.
