WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army West Point swimming & diving welcomed the Virginia Military Institute's Keydets to Crandall Pool for a dual meet on Friday evening. The Black Knights came away with a pair of victories as the women's team went 189-16 over the Keydets and the men went 152-53.

Army welcomed opponents to Crandall Pool for its second weekend of competition in the 2025-26 season on Friday afternoon in a shortened dual meet format with just 11 events for the men and women.

The Black Knights put on an exciting show in front of their fans and took a moment before the swimming portion of the meet began to recognize their 2025 Patriot League Championship win and to present their men's team with their Championship rings.

Women: Army 189, VMI 16
Army's women dominated their side of the meet, collecting all 11 of the meet's first place finishes for the women and sweeping the podium entirely in eight events. Firstie and team captain Molly Webber logged a new program record in the women's 1000 free to kick things off with a time of 9:56.93

Men: Army 152, VMI 53
The men's squad put up a slate of strong performances, collecting 10 of the 11 possible first place finishes on the evening, sweeping the podium in the men's 100 breast as well. Army's men claimed at least two spots on the podium in 10 of the evening's events.

Post Meet Reactions
"Tonight was awesome. It was fun to finally honor our men's team for last year's Patriot League Championship! They received their championship rings tonight which is always a special and memorable moment in someone's career.
As for the meet, the energy was unreal. Right from the run out through the last relay both teams, coaches, and our fans kept things exciting and high energy.
I want to thank everyone from the West Point and surrounding community who came and supported us! We had so many awesome performances and VMI swam awesome as well!
Shout out to Molly Webber on breaking her own school record in the 1000 Free. Grace Wagner had her best college performance of her career tonight which was awesome to see. Lots of great swim and race details are improving.
We are not satisfied and ready to keep moving forward. We have two weeks of work ahead of us and then will head down to Atlanta for the Georgia Tech Dual Meet Tournament - we are excited to race against some of the best teams in the country!" – Director of Swimming & Diving Brandt Nigro

"This meet was such a fantastic opportunity for the team to show up and race fast. The energy that this team brought to the pool today was electric. Both the women's team and men's team are in a very good spot for how early it is.
We have been working extremely hard in practice, and it is showing. It was also a great opportunity to swim in front of a large crowd, including kids from the local community who cheered us along the whole time. I am very excited for this season and all that's to come!" – Grace Wagner

"This was a really great meet for the team. Crandall was packed with energy, not just from the team, but all of the locals and spectators that came out to support us. If you have a lane, you have a chance, and that was shown by everyone.
We all swam a lot of secondary races and it turns out we have a lot a versatility as a team. It was a lot of fun tonight and we have lots more work ahead to look forward to. GO ARMY!" – Sam Reilly
