Edwards, Thompson Tabbed Indoor Track and Field Team Captains
Navy Director of Track and Field Jamie Cook announced that seniors Chelsey Edwards (Schertz, Texas) and Clayton Thompson (Corpus Christi, Texas) will be team captains for the 2020-21 indoor campaign.
 
Edwards is a nine-time All-Patriot League performer, earning first-team distinction in the 400m dash and 4x400m relay. The rising senior is a back-to-back champion in the 400m dash (2019, '20) as an individual during the indoor season, while taking second in the event during the 2019 outdoor competition. She is a member of the 4x400m relay team that won the 2018, '19 and '20 Patriot League titles during the indoor championship, while claiming the 4x400m relay outdoor title in 2018. Edwards holds the Navy school record in the 400m dash (indoor), while being a member of the Navy record-holding 4x400m (indoor), 4x100m (outdoor), and 4x400m (outdoor) relay teams.
 
Thompson is a six-time All-Patriot League honoree, while also earning Patriot League Championship Highest Point Scorer (indoor) in 2020 and PL Rookie of the Meet (outdoor) in 2018. The NCAA Regional qualifier (110m hurdles, 400m hurdles) is the only Midshipmen to run a sub 8-second time in the 60m hurdles, posting 10 times under eight seconds in the 60m hurdles in 2020, including a school-record time of 7.92 to claim first place at the Army-Navy Indoor Star Series Meet, helping the Mids claim the indoor Star. Thompson, who holds the school record in the 60m, 110m, and 400m hurdles, won the 60m hurdles and heptathlon at the 2020 Patriot League Indoor Championship, while claiming the 400m hurdles title at the 2018 PL Outdoor Championship.
 
Former Track and Field Student-Athlete Buffone ('15) Earns NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship
