Huskers Announce Addition of Virginia Consiglio to 2024 Class

Nebraska Head Swimming and Diving Coach Pablo Morales announced the addition of Virginia Consiglio to the Huskers’ 2024 recruiting class on Wednesday. From Rome, Italy, Consiglio will join an already-signed five-member class in Lincoln next season.

She competed with the Italian Junior National Team at the 2021 and 2023 European Junior Championships, where she set a junior national record in the 50 butterfly.

At the 2023 European Junior Championships, Consiglio swam a 27.53 in the long-course 50 butterfly prelims, placing 13th. She went to place 15th in the semifinals with a 27.65. Consiglio swam a 29.36 in the long-course 50 backstroke finals at the 2023 Campionato Italiano Assoluto Open, for another 13th-place finish.

“Virginia is a talented swimmer who has competed at the highest level of competition in Italy and Europe,” Morales said. “She has a passion for her sport and works hard in the classroom.  She will be an awesome fit with our team culture.”
