Nebraska diver Abigail Knapton added another award to her senior season hardware haul, when the Omahan was voted a first-team Academic All-America All-District 7 selection by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Thursday, July 8.
Knapton, a six-time All-American and Nebraska's Female Student-Athlete of the Year in 2021, will advance to the national ballot for CoSIDA Academic All-America honors in the At-Large division. The 2021 Big Ten Conference Diver of the Meet after winning conference titles on both the one-meter springboard and the platform events, was also Nebraska's Best Female Athlete award winner across all sports as a fifth-year senior.
