After cancer treatment, UNC diver Emily Grund makes her return to the pool


There was a time when Emily Grund doubted the possibility of ever diving again. But, in the words of her head coach Yaidel Gamboa, she’s better and stronger than before. The North Carolina redshirt senior diver made her long-awaited comeback to the pool this season after battling acute promyelocytic leukemia – a form of bone marrow cancer – last year.
