regarding the Stanford Olympic medal count on gostanford

I think they only count summer Olympics since they make the claim

• The Cardinal has produced at least one medalist in every Olympics in which the U.S. has competed since 1912.
  

which would not be true if they included the winter Olympics

Heiden and his five speedskating golds aren't on the list either.

Only thing that comes to mind is that perhaps she got her medal before she was affiliated with Stanford.

That's not it...Debi Thomas was an undergrad a year ahead of me during the 1988 Olympics and got her degree from Stanford.

Also Stanford and USC both appear to be counting people who won medals before and after their time as students.  For example, both schools count Janet Evans among their totals. Evans attended Stanford in between the 1988 and 1992 Olympics where she won her medals, and she attended USC after the 1992 Olympics.

They counted Alma Richards as a USC medal (from where he graduated), but he also attended Cornell and Stanford...neither university claims him for purposes of medal count.

Students at California universities have an inordinate number of Olympic medals. Not only are the first four universities by overall medal count all from California (USC, Stanford, UCLA, Cal), but two more are in the Top 50 (Long Beach State with 47is ranked #27 and UC Irvine with 33 is ranked #37) are in the Top 50. Eight other CA universities have scored medals including SJSU (21), SCU (18), UCSB (15), CSU-Northridge (14), SDSU (14), UC-Davis (10), Cal Poly Pomona (7) and Saddleback College (1 - Ashley Wagner won a figure skating bronze in the 2014 Winter Olympics, in case you were wondering).

Wow. Thanks. Impressive. But it seems like these lists need regulatory standards.
