Freshman (2024-25)
The last competitor to join the 2024-25 Husker swimming and diving team, Virginia Consiglio played significant roles in the Husker relay efforts late in the season. At the 2025 Big Ten Championships, the freshman from Genova, Italy, raced with JoJo Randby, Anna Vlachou and Maisie Gilford to post a school-record time of 138.50 in the 200 medley relay. She was also part of Nebraska's school-record setting 400 medley relay (3:36.12) at the Big Ten Championships, joining Maia Hall, Vlachou, and Beatrix Tanko.
Individually, Consiglio grabbed a sixth-place finish in the 200 backstroke (2:00.99) in Nebraska's win over Iowa and Rutgers in Piscataway, N.J., to close the regular season. It earned Consiglio the No. 6 spot on Nebraska’s all-time records in the 200 back. After joining the Huskers at the semester break, Consiglio captured an individual victory in the 100 backstroke (54.09) against Illinois, which was the top time by a Husker in the event all season.
At the Big Ten Championships, Consiglio placed 35th in the 200 back (2:01.28) and 36th in the 100 backstroke (54.76).
