Class of 2028 crushed Severn Shellback. 👊

Modeled after the Navy’s equator-crossing ceremony, the evolution focused on the symbolic undertaking of responsibility and their transition from youngster to second class. They now assume the charge of standard bearers of our Brigade.

Plebes NO MORE!🫡

In 2 hours, 17 minutes, and 36 seconds, the Class of 2029 climbed Herndon Monument and completed one of the Naval Academy’s most demanding and historic traditions.

This moment signifies teamwork, resilience, and refusing to quit when the task feels impossible.

[USNA Superintendent @usnasupe]

For 15 hours, the Class of 2029 was tested physically, mentally, and as a team. Pugil stick fighting, O-Course, E-Course, Ground Fighting, Pool competition, Bridge run, Boat and Log carries, and much more, challenged their endurance, toughness, and commitment to one another. ⚓

These four men chose the honor of representing the @NavalAcademy on the football field — now Landon Robinson and Eli Heidenreich carry that legacy into the NFL.

Keep making us proud.

Singing Second Saturday for Navy Athletics. 🐐⚓️

Men’s rugby dominated Army once again. Men’s Tennis followed suit with another decisive win over Army. And in one of the day’s most memorable moments, we defeated the Johnnies in croquet, for the second time in decades. #GoNavy
