He was the state high school singles champion in Minnesota in 2002. Torgrimson first played collegiate tennis from 2002-2004 at Assumption College in Worcester, MA. He returned to his home state to play at the Division I level as a Golden Gopher for the University of Minnesota from 2004-05.

Olivia comes to us from Shippan Racquet Club & Oak Hills in Norwalk. She offers instruction for players of all ages and abilities. Olivia’s tennis career began at Shippan Racquet Club at 4 years old. She played in area tournaments and attended Westhill High School before moving to the Chris Evert Tennis Academy in Boca Raton, FL. She played in International Tennis Federation Tournaments throughout the world, and then moved on to play Division I tennis at the University of South Alabama. Her doubles team reached the NCAA semifinals. Olivia enjoys giving back to the game that she loves. Part of her love for the game stems from her mother, Barbara, the club manager at Shippan, King’s Highway in Darien and Oak Hills. She looks forward to working with familiar faces at LRC and some new ones, as well!
