The West Point Parachute Team hosted an Interservice Academy Meet with the U.S. Air Force Academy and U.S. Naval Academy parachute teams from April 13-15 at the Parade Field on The Plain.

All three academies sent cadets and midshipmen to jump on The Plain in this time-honored tradition.

Competing in sport accuracy, four-way freefall formation skydiving and six-way speed dives, all the parachutists had a great time building camaraderie, promoting the sport and jumping from the skids of West Point’s incredible UH-72 Lakota helicopters.

Overall, West Point won the competition in a close tie-breaker event.

West Point took the gold in landing accuracy, Air Force dominated four-way freefall formations and Navy came first in six-way speed dives, but Class of 2024 Cadet Pierce Moul brought home the win with his outstanding performance under canopy -- landing dead center on target.

We are honored and grateful to continue this event, which has taken place periodically since 1979. We plan to host future competitions at West Point every April, and we hope to have the community come out to watch with us.
