Becky Johnson will round out her career as one of the top divers for the Huskers.  After narrowly missing a trip to the NCAA Zone Diving Championships last season, Johnson would like to end her career with a return trip after qualifying in 2003.  She has consistently placed in the top three on the one- and three-meter boards and was the second-leading scorer on the diving squad last season.

 

2004-05 (Junior)

Johnson nearly qualified for her second NCAA Zone meet last season with scores of 268.57 and 257.77 on the three-meter, and 253.64 and 250.25 on the one-meter.  She was a top diver for the Huskers, and picked up two one-meter and one three-meter victory on the season.  Johnson also placed in the top three a total of 11 times.  The <?xml:namespace prefix="st1" ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"?>Anoka, Minn., native enjoyed her best Big 12 meet by placing in the top eight in all three events, including a third-place finish on the one meter, which helped the Huskers to a third-place team finish.        

 

2003-04 (Sophomore)

Johnson had a solid season for NU and contributed throughout her sophomore campaign.  She placed fifth on the platform at the Minnesota Invitational with a season-best score of 318.80, helping the team to its fourth-place finish.  She placed second on the one-meter springboard with a season-best score of 234.44 against SouthwestMissouriState, helping NU capture its second win of the season.
