Career

Keeney rose to prominence in the Australian aquatic scene, when she competed at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. There, she captured the silver medal in the 1 m springboard, and a bronze in the 3 m synchronized springboard with her partner Anabelle Smith.[5]

At the 2015 World Aquatics Championships in Kazan, Russia, she finished seventh in the 3 m springboard, fourth in mixed synchronised 3 m springboard, and twelfth in the 1 m springboard.

She performed for the synchronized springboard diving, alongside Smith, at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. There, the pair opened with a back dive pike, scoring a score of 48.00 to share fifth place with Germany. On the third dive, they scored 72.20, slipping them to sixth place, within striking distance from bronze. They moved up one spot in the standings to fifth on 228.09 in the penultimate round, before snatching bronze in their final dive.[6][7]

At the 2017 World Aquatic Championships in Budapest, Hungary, Keeney won gold in the 1m springboard [8] .
