2014 • Senior Season  
Jamie Schleppenbach (pronounced SHLEP-en-bach) returned to the Husker lineup in 2014 bringing considerable experience and strong performances over her time as a Husker. She earned first team All-America honors at the 2014 NCAA Championships after posting her career-high 9.90 on beam in the Semifinals to boost NU to its 11th appearance at the Super Six Finals. 

Schleppenbach, logging 15 performances on beam was one of the Huskers most consistent workers never dropping below a 9.75 during the regular season. Her hard work paid off at the NCAA Event Finals where she put together a seamless 9.8875 routine that tied for third-place overall.

The two event specialist also contributed vital performances on floor all season long. Only missing one meet Schleppenbach claimed her career high mark of 9.85 at Penn State in early February. She also earned her second Academic All-Big Ten honor as a PR and advertising major during the season.

2013 • Junior Season

The junior captured two vault titles in just four showings on the event, taking home top honors at Michigan in January and against Illinois in early February.

2012 • Sophomore Season
Schleppenbach appeared in all-around competition 11 times during her sophomore season, capturing three individual vault titles as well as one beam title and her first career all-around title. Schleppenbach was instrumental in Nebraska's key road win over Utah in early March, tying or capturing new career-highs on vault (9.950), beam (9.900) and all-around (39.575) en route to winning the event titles on all three. She was recognized as the Big Ten Gymnast of the Week on March 12 for her efforts against the Utes.

Schleppenbach earned second-team All-Big Ten honors during the regular season. After finishing in a tie for second on vault (9.925) at the Big Ten Championships in Iowa City, she was also awarded a spot on the All-Big Ten Championship Team.
