The cross-country skier from Afton earned bronze in the team relay at the FIS Cross Country World Cup on Sunday in Toblach, Italy. Diggins finished second in the 10k freestyle on Saturday and third in the freestyle sprint on Friday.
"We love relay days, we really do," said Diggins, who skied with Julia Kern, Hailey Swirbul and Rosie Brennan.
Norway took gold, 26.7 seconds ahead of Sweden. The Americans were two-tenths of a second behind the Swedes.
"I am so, so proud of all of our teams," Diggins said in a news release. "Everyone skied their heart out. It was a really challenging course, especially if you were skiing alone. It was just so much working. Overall, I was really proud of the team today because everyone just pushed the limits."
