Stanford’s Gracia Leydon-Mahoney held off Minnesota’s Zhou Yu to win the women’s platform diving event at the 2016 NCAA Division I Women’s Championships.
Needing a huge finish in the team battle, Leydon-Mahoney gave Stanford the win with 346.15 points. That made her just the third platform winner from Stanford as she broke a tie with Texas for the most NCAA wins in the event with five.
