West Lafayette, Ind. - Nebraska's Abi Knapton made history on Saturday when she claimed the Big Ten title in the one-meter diving event at the conference diving championships at the Morgan J. Burke Aquatic Center.
Knapton, a fifth-year senior from Omaha, Neb., capped a remarkable performance over the three days at the 2021 Big Ten Championships with her second Big Ten title in as many days after capturing the platform crown on Friday night. She opened the meet with a runner-up finish on the three-meter event to finish the championships with 92 team points.
A three-time first-team All-American on the platform, Knapton became the first Husker diver to win two conference diving titles in the same meet since Julie May swept the one and three-meter events at the 1989 Big Eight Championships.
