Emily Torluemke

President & Senior Performance Coach

Coach Emily is an accomplished endurance athlete and performance coach (10+ years). Having grown up around endurance sports through her father PacWest CEO/Head Coach Jay Ridgeway, Emily quickly become hooked with the sport once she enrolled at the University of Missouri and joined the school’s triathlon race team. After her freshman year, she become the team president and from there found a love and passion for the sport. After earning her bachelor’s in health sciences with a minor in psychology she then earned her master’s in sports psychology. This naturally lead her to follow in her dad’s footsteps and become a coach.

Today, Emily focuses primarily with beginner to intermediate level athletes and loves passing on all aspects of what she’s learned and continues to learn of the sport.

One of her biggest accomplishments thus far has been paving the way for younger generations to come. During her collegiate years, Emily was invited to the inaugural 2014 and 2015 USA Triathlon Women’s Varsity National Championships in Clermont, Florida representing the University of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou). After the 2015 championship, USA Triathlon and the NCAA decided to make it exclusive to colleges that adopted women’s triathlon as a Division I, II or III athletic program.
