When she was on the Gophers swim team she had 13 All-American nods, and four individual Big Ten titles, helping her team secure the 2008 Big Ten Conference Championship, qualifying in two events for the 2008 Olympic Trials, setting 14 separate Minnesota school records (five of which still stand) and securing her spot in the 2015 class of the Minnesota Aquatic Center Hall of Fame.

Busack’s prowess in the pool came entirely in the sprint freestyle category, as all 13 All-American honors came from either individual or relay-leg sprint free performances.  Her five standing Gopher records all came in the same fashion. 

In the classroom, Busack excelled during her time as a student-athlete as well, as she managed to rack up three Big Ten All-Academic honors and an Academic All-American honor over her career.

After competing for the Gophers, Busack began coaching.  She spent four seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Pittsburgh (2013-2016).  During her tenure at Pitt, Busack helped coach 25 separate women to set school records.  While continuing to advance her coaching career, Stacy traveled to Oakland University where she spent five seasons.  In her time at Oakland, Busack was no stranger to winning as she helped coach both the men’s and women’s swimming programs to five straight Horizon League Conference titles.
