Kari Torkelson's love of basketball shooting began decades ago. In elementary school, she won her school's basketball shooting contest, then went on to beat every other school in the district. "I didn't have a basketball hoop at my house, and after I won, Dad said it was time to put one up."

That backyard hoop helped launch a lifelong love of the game. Kari later played basketball at the University of Minnesota Crookston, where she was a member of the 1989–90 women's basketball team, now inducted into the school's Hall of Fame.

After years away from competitive sports, Kari returned to the court last summer to compete in the Basketball Shooting Skills event at the 2025 National Senior Games presented by Humana. Her magic touch was still there; Kari made 24 of 25 shots to win a gold medal!

And just like when she was a kid, the first person she wanted to tell was her dad. "I got in the car and called my dad, and I think he kind of knew," she recalls. "I said, 'I just won a gold medal,' and he started to chuckle, maybe tearing up a little, and said, 'Oh, that's fantastic!'"
