PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Army West Point swimming & diving continued their season competing in the 2026 Rutgers Pre-Season Invitational at the Rutgers Aquatic Center. The men competed against Boston College, Stony Brook, and Fordham, and the women's team took on Rutgers, Boston College, Stony Brook, Northeastern, and Fordham.

This meet marked a spectacular weekend for the Black Knights, highlighted by four broken pool records, multiple program top 10 times, and two NCAA Zone diving cuts.

The men's team put on a clinic in the relays, capturing first place and breaking pool records in the 200-yard freestyle relay, 400-yard freestyle relay, 200-yard medley relay, and 400-yard medley relay. Individually, Hannah Wooten had a breakout performance for the women, winning both the 500-yard freestyle and the 1,000-yard freestyle while cementing top 10 program times in both events. Lien Nguyen was right behind her in the 1,000-yard freestyle, finishing second and also etching her name into the program's all-time top 10 list. On the men's side, Paul Moody surged to a second-place finish in the 200-yard backstroke to clock an all-time program top 10 time. On the diving boards, Hadley Futch secured NCAA Zone cuts in both the 1-meter and 3-meter dives, taking fourth and fifth place, respectively.
