Last Time Out: Track and Field Sweeps Patriot League Outdoor Championship in Dominating Fashion (May 7, 2022)
The Navy track and field team posted a pair of dominating victories at the 2022 Patriot League Outdoor Championships on a chilly, rain-soaked weekend at Ingram Field in Annapolis. It is the fourth consecutive season that the Midshipmen have swept the Outdoor Championships.
For the men, it was the ninth outdoor title in program history and the eighth in a row. The victory was the sixth outdoor championship for the women and fourth consecutive title.
With the two track and field conference titles, Navy has now won nine Patriot League Championships during the 2021-22 season, tying for the most titles in a single season with the 2011-12 and 2017-18 seasons. The track and field / cross country program completed its own trifecta, winning the Men's and Women's Patriot League Cross Country, Indoor, and Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
The men and women both entered the final day of competition in first place. Navy continued to increase its advantage on both sides. The men's team won by 94 points, while the women claimed a 105.5-point win.
The Navy men finished with a tournament-record 333 points to win, while Army notched 239 points for second place. Boston University took third with 82, while Bucknell (66) and Lehigh (61) rounded out the top five. On the women's side, the Midshipmen registered the second-most points in Patriot League history, tallying 281.50 points, followed by Army (176) and Boston (129). Bucknell (97.50) and Lehigh (94) rounded out the top five.
Navy won 21 of the 44 combined events over the weekend with the men's team winning 11 events and the women's team claiming 10 victories. The Midshipmen tallied 42 total All-Patriot League accolades.
In addition,
Miguel Mathias was named Men's Track Athlete of the Meet, while
Jacques Guillaume earned Men's Rookie of the Meet and
Caden Dailey was the Men's Highest Point Scorer. Katie Halbert earned Women's Field Athlete of the Meet, while also finishing as the Women's Highest Point Scorer. Once again, Director of Navy Track and Field / Cross Country

Last Time at IC4A / ECAC Outdoor Championships (May 16, 2021)
For the first time in program history, the Navy track and field team has swept the IC4A / ECAC Championships, claiming the 2021 outdoor meet which was held in Springfield, Mass. over the weekend. For the men, it was the seventh IC4A outdoor title in program history, and the third consecutive win for the Mids in the meet. The three consecutive IC4A championships matches Navy's stretch of three straight titles in 1944, 1945, and 1946. For the women, it was the second ECAC Outdoor Championship in program history, and the first since 1989 when the Mids claimed the Division II ECAC title.
The men finished first among the 32 teams that scored in an event, while the women were first out of 37 teams that scored. Navy tallied 56 All-East performances (top eight finishers) with the men's team earning 31 individuals and three relay teams and the women's team earning 25 individuals and three relays. Navy won five events on the men's side, including four individual events and the 4x800m relay, while claiming the 200m dash on the women's side.
