Sophomore Misha Andriyuk breaks decade-long Stanford diving record in Texas

The Stanford men’s and women’s diving teams traveled to Austin on Nov. 13 to compete in the Texas Diving Invitational, a three-day competition featuring schools from across the country. Both teams faced divers from the University of Texas at Austin, Texas Christian University, the University of Miami, Texas A&M University, the University of Utah and the University of Arizona. The women’s team also competed against the University of North Texas, which does not have a men’s swim and dive team.

On the first day of competition, the men competed in the one-meter springboard competition and the women competed on the three-meter springboards. Following standard order for a multi-day meet, the second day saw a switch in that scheduling, with the men taking to the higher boards as the women competed on the one-meter boards. On the final day, all divers competed on the 10-meter platforms. 

Stanford’s best day in the pool came on the final day of competition, with sophomores Misha Andriyuk and Anna Lemkin both taking home wins in the 10-meter platform event.

Andriyuk, the 2025 NCAA Zone E platform diving champion, sprung to a new Stanford school record. Scoring an impressive 460.25 points, the sophomore broke Olympic bronze medalist Kristian Ipsen’s previous record of 452.90 by over seven points. He was 33.85 points ahead of Texas A&M’s Emilio Trevino, winning by the widest margin of the meet.

Lemkin, the 2025 ACC platform diving champion, won the day with a score of 283.30 across five dives, 7.80 points ahead of second place.

Senior Emilie Moore (sixth, 231.50) represented the Cardinal women on the platform. Freshmen Gunnar Grubbs (third, 348.60) and Grant Schneider (16th, 265.10) also competed for the Cardinal men. 

Grubbs, the only Cardinal diver to appear in the finals session in all three of his events, showed his consistency on the springboards. He posted a score of 358.20 in the one-meter to notch a third place for Stanford. Andriyuk, also having advanced to the final session on the one-meter, posted a score of 319.35, making him good for 11th. 

On the higher three-meter springboard, Grubbs was the only male Cardinal diver to advance to the finals session, where he placed fifth with a score of 364.80. Andriyuk narrowly missed returning to the later session on the competition’s second day, finishing 0.60 points behind 12th-place Mohamed Farouk from Miami.

Diving on the springboards for the Cardinal women, freshman Molly Gray earned a pair of finals dives in the one and three-meter events. Gray, coming off of a pair of wins in a tri-meet against Arizona State and Cal, earned a seventh place finish in the three-meter competition on Thursday, scoring 292.85 points. The next day, she returned to score 275.60 points on the one-meter, handing her eighth place. Gray was the only athlete from the women’s team to make finals on the springboards.
