The Delaware State University women's triathlon team delivered a standout performance at the 2026 Navy Collegiate Cup, securing a top-five team finish while being anchored by a podium appearance from Rebecca Jansen.
 

Competing against a tough national field, Jansen paced the Hornets with an exceptional race, crossing the finish line to earn third place overall. During the post-race awards ceremony outside the Melville Entrance, Jansen was presented with her third-place Navy Collegiate Cup wooden plaque. She stood proudly on the podium alongside the event's individual champion in red and the second-place finisher from the University of San Francisco.
 

Jansen's individual success was instrumental in bolstering Delaware State's position in the final team standings. According to the official results document original-7591DDA0-A0CC-4908-9F8D-AC7E7D77842A.jpeg, the Hornets accumulated 167 total points to capture fifth place in the 10-team field. DSU finished behind host Navy (226 points) and successfully held off late challenges in the scoring column from the University of Denver (160 points) and East Tennessee State University (144 points).
 

Texas Christian University claimed the overall team title with a dominant 286 points, narrowly edging out Duquesne University (278 points). The University of San Francisco rounded out the top three with 227 points.
 

The Hornets' strong collective showing in Annapolis provides valuable momentum and key points for the squad as they progress through the remainder of their competitive season.
