Army West Point's swimming and diving teams recently participated in the 2026 NCAA Zone A Diving Championships, held at Lejeune Hall in Annapolis, Maryland. The Black Knights were represented by a group of five divers: Hadley Futch, Jack McDaniel, Cohen Laylo, Will Patterson, and Lucas Mowry. Freshman Hadley Futch, hailing from Sanford, Florida, competed on both the 1-meter and 3-meter boards. She finished 36th overall on the 1-meter board. Although the team did not secure top finishes, the experience gained at such a competitive level is invaluable for the program's growth.
Meanwhile, Army's Athletic Director, attending the American Conference meetings in Birmingham, Alabama, highlighted the ongoing discussions about college football's evolving landscape. These meetings are crucial for shaping the future of the conference and ensuring that Army West Point continues to compete at a high level across all sports. As winter sports enter postseason play, the Black Knights remain committed to maintaining their standards both in competition and in the classroom.
