MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. – University of Minnesota diver Elna Widerstrom has earned her first Big Ten Diver of the Week honor of the 2026-27 season, as announced by the conference this afternoon.

 

Widerstrom opened up the season last weekend with a pair of first place finishes in both diving events, helping lead the Gophers to a 180-120 victory over the Hawkeyes. Widerstrom tallied scores of 305.63 on the 1-meter and 340.35 on the 3-meter in the diving well, topping the podium in both events.
