Nevada senior Sharae Zheng won the 3-meter springboard at the NCAA Zone E Championships on Tuesday in Flagstaff, Ariz., and has qualified in two events at the NCAA Championships.
On Monday, Zheng came out on top of the 1-meter springboard, along with junior Sio I Lei who placed fifth in the event.
After winning the preliminary rounds of the 3-meter springboard with a score of 372.35, Zheng came out firing again in the finals.
Among the 18 divers who competed in the finals, Zheng was the only participant whose average round score was higher than 60 points. That margin helped lead her to a total of 762.35 points, nearly 100 points more than Eliose Belanger of UCLA, who placed second.
