WEST LIBERTY, W.Va. – The West Liberty University Acrobatics & Tumbling team has officially released its 2026 competition schedule, featuring a challenging mix of home and away meets against regional and nationally recognized opponents as the Hilltoppers continue their climb in the Mountain East Conference (MEC) and NCATA ranks.

West Liberty opens its ninth season of competition on February 7, traveling to Fairmont State for a tri-meet against the Falcons and West Virginia State. It will be the first of three regular-season matchups against MEC opponents, setting the tone for an exciting spring campaign.

The Hilltoppers hit the road again on February 12 to face Duquesne University in Pittsburgh before returning home to the friendly confines of the ASRC for their 2026 home opener against Wheeling University on February 16 at 6 p.m.

After a late-February road trip to Kutztown University on February 27, West Liberty welcomes Canisius University on March 4 for a midweek home meet. The matchup marks the first-ever meeting between the Hilltoppers and the Golden Griffins.

Head coach Kelsey Kyle's squad will spend much of March on the road, highlighted by a trip south to Saint Leo University on March 13 before returning to the Mountain State for a March 21 matchup at Bluefield State.

The Hilltoppers close out the regular season with back-to-back home meets — hosting Glenville State on March 29 at 3 p.m. to wrap up their home slate and set their sights on the postseason.

The Mountain East Conference Championships are scheduled for April 10–11, hosted by the regular-season conference champion, while the NCATA National Championships will take place April 23–26 at Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, California.
