Maggie Keefer, a true freshman from Stillwater, Minn., was named the Big Ten Diver of the Week after winning the 1-meter diving event and helping the Minnesota women’s swimming & diving team to a dual-meet victory over Iowa State last weekend. Keefer is the second Gopher this season to earn a Conference weekly award joining Jillian Tyler, who was named the Big Ten Swimmer of the Week last week.

Keefer has enjoyed an impressive start to her collegiate career, winning the 1-meter diving event in each of the Gophers’ first three meets this season. She tallied a score of 283.80 to easily outdistance the rest of the field at the Iowa State meet.

Minnesota is idle this weekend. The Gophers are looking forward to a co-ed dual meet versus Wisconsin on Friday, Oct. 29.
