Northwestern men’s basketball may have made history this year by making its first appearance in the NCAA tournament, but its swim team also made history this March with its first national champion on the women’s side. Sophomore Olivia Rosendahl won the platform diving title Saturday night with a score of 335.30 to beat out Indiana’s Jessica Paratto at 314.45. What is even more impressive? Northwestern doesn’t even have a platform. Rosendahl said in her on deck interview that she has to commute to a different pool once a week to train platform.
Rebecca Quesnel of Florida International placed third in the event at 302.35. Nebraska’s Abigail Knapton, Purdue’s Lexi Vincent, Iowa’s Calli Head, Purdue’s Emily Meaney and Minnesota’s Lexi Tenenbaum also competed in the final tonight.
There was little change to the team scores, but Minnesota did move into 8th place going into the last relay.
