Clayton Thompson and Molly Mangan led the way as the Navy men’s and women’s track and field teams swept the Patriot League Outdoor Championship meet at Army West Point April 30 and May 1.
Thompson won the 110- and 400-meter hurdles, setting a meet record in the latter event, and placed second in the long jump, third in the pole vault and ran the leadoff leg of the runner-up 400-meter relay team. The senior from Corpus Christi, Texas, singlehandedly scored 36 points, which was more than some other Patriot League teams.
“In my opinion, Clayton is the best athlete at the Naval Academy and what he did this past weekend was remarkable,” Navy coach Jamie Cook said.
