Army West Point Swimming & Diving made history December 5 at Crandall Pool as they swept Navy in the 2024 Star Meet to collect both stars up for grabs in the Star Series, presented by USAA. The Black Knights collected wins simultaneously over Navy for the first time in 36 years with 27 first place finishes, 12 program records, and 11 Crandall Pool records.
Crandall Pool was abuzz with energy from the commencement of the diving events all the way through the final shrill of the officials’ whistle. After a brief pause due to technical difficulties delayed the start of the night’s swimming events, the Black Knights flew into action, seemingly unstoppable as the night progressed.
The Black Knights’ 85-point differential in their win over Navy stands as Army Men’s Swimming & Diving’s largest margin of victory over the Mids in program history. Army’s previous largest win came in 2022 with the Black Knights’ 78-point lead over Navy.
Army dominated the top spot on the podium as the Black Knight men’s team claimed 15 of the 16 first place finishes up for grabs for the men while the Black Knight women’s team claimed 12 of the 16 first place finishes up for contention.
