Knapton Wins Big Ten Platform Title



West Lafayette – Nebraska senior Abi Knapton captured the first Big Ten Conference diving title in school history on Friday night, when she splashed to a first place finish in the platform dive at the 2021 Big Ten Championships at the Morgan J. Burke Aquatic Center in Indiana. 

Abi Knapton is Nebraska’s most accomplished diver, holding school-records in the three-meter dive and the platform dive, qualifying for the NCAA Championship in 2017, 2018 and 2019 and also being named a first-team All-American and CSCAA Scholar All-American for each of those years. She has finished as high as fourth in the Big Ten platform dive, as well as finishing in fifth and eighth place.

Knapton, a redshirt senior from Omaha, Ne, is coming off a night where she finished as the runner-up in the three-meter dive 24 hours ago. She was the second runner-up diver in Nebraska’s Big Ten history, as Anna Filipcic was the first on the one-meter and three-meter.

Knapton, a redshirt senior from Omaha, Ne, won the second Big Ten title in as many days for Nebraska after Autumn Haebig captured the championship in the 200 free.

Complete coverage of Nebraska’s day at the Big Ten Swimming Championships in Minneapolis and Diving Championships in West Lafayette, Ind., will follow shortly.
