CBS News reported that two women advanced farther in Navy SEAL tryouts than any in history, according to its article on the two women's progress. The network said both women dropped out in the third or fourth week of the endurance tests.

The CBS News summary states that no woman had previously "made it to the third week" of the Navy SEAL endurance tests before this year. The outlet's summary presents the two women's progress as beyond that earlier record.

According to the CBS News summary, the record concerns the third week of the tests, which no woman had reached before this year. Both women withdrew in the third or fourth week, so the summary places them at or beyond that earlier mark. The summary does not give comparison figures beyond that milestone, and it does not state how many women have attempted the tests in total.

The CBS News material uses the terms tryouts and endurance tests, and it does not define either term separately. The headline and summary together describe the result as the farthest any woman has advanced in the tryouts, while noting that neither woman completed the endurance tests.

The material reviewed for this story consists of the CBS News headline and summary. Those materials do not name the two women, identify the tryout class or its dates, or explain why either woman withdrew. The Continental Gazette has not confirmed those details from any other source.
