ANNAPOLIS, Md.--Navy claimed its 10th-consecutive Patriot League Presidents' Cup, winning a league-best nine conference championships during the 2023-24 academic year to sit atop the overall standings.

Navy's current streak of ten consecutive overall titles is the longest in Patriot League Presidents' Cup history. Navy has won 11 titles overall and has finished first or second in 17 straight years. Prior to 2000-01, Navy never finished higher than fifth.

“Year after year, our Midshipmen and coaches remain determined to sustain a level of Naval Academy athletic excellence that is the standard to which all others in our league aspire,” said Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk. “A decade of dominance in the Patriot League is a bar set by amazing individuals who wear the Blue and Gold with a time tested "Expect to Win" mindset. Equally impressive are the number of Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year, earned by our athletes, which also, in number, far surpass our competition. Competitive success is ingrained in the educational model we believe directly correlates with the development of leaders who we expect to be role models in the fleet and beyond.”

The Mids compiled 154.25 points, winning league titles in men’s cross country, women’s golf, men’s and women’s swimming & diving, women’s tennis, men’s and women’s indoor track & field and men’s and women’s outdoor track & field. Boston University finished second in the overall standings with 146 points, while Army was third with 133.5 points.

Since 2013-14, Navy has won 84 conference championships, the next closest schools are Boston University with 38 and Army with 25.

The Patriot League Presidents' Cup is awarded to the member institution with the highest cumulative sports point total for their Patriot League standings in sponsored men's and women's sports. Points are awarded based on a combination of an institution's regular-season and tournament finishes in each sport.
