Tokyo Olympics Diving

Delaney Schnell competes in the women's diving 10-meter platform preliminary at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre at the 2020 Summer Olympics, Wednesday, Aug. 4, 2021, in Tokyo, Japan.

Arizona Wildcat and Olympic silver medalist Delaney Schnell is a champion once again.

The UA senior and Tucson High grad won the women's 1-meter Pac-12 Championship Wednesday afternoon with a score of 332.55, marking the second consecutive season Schnell has placed first in the event. 

Her latest accomplishment adds to her already-decorated resume.

Schnell is now a three-time overall Pac-12 champion, having also won last year's platform diving title — an event she holds the Arizona school record in. She  competed in last summer's 2020 Tokyo Olympics, placing as a silver medalist in 10-meter Synchronized Platform. 

During the 2021-22 season, Schnell was named the Pac-12 Diver of the Month in November.

She will wrap up her season over the next month with the rest of the Pac-12 Diving Championships taking place at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center Wednesday through Saturday before competing in the NCAA Championships in Atlanta from March 16-19.
