George Mason track and field will host the Atlantic 10 men's and women's outdoor track and field conference championships, May 2-3, at George Mason Stadium, the league office announce on Tuesday.

In the Patriots first season in the Atlantic 10, the women's track and field team took home both the indoor and outdoor conference titles, while the men finished second at both meets.

"We are very excited to have the opportunity to bring the A-10 outdoor track and field championships to Mason next spring,” head coach Andrew Gerard said.  “First, it will be a great chance for our student-athletes to be able to showcase their hard work at a championship meet in front of a Patriot crowd. We had an excellent first year in the A-10 and we're really pleased to bring some of that excitement home.”

This is the first time Mason track and field has hosted the A-10 championships and the first conference championship meet to be held at Mason since  the 2012 CAA championships.

“Our event staff does a tremendous job and puts on a great meet,” Gerard said. “Every conference championship we've been able to host in the past has received rave reviews from visiting teams and I know that our first time hosting an A-10 championship meet will be the same."

Men's soccer and baseball each claimed A-10 titles in the 2013-14 season, to bring the Patriots' total to four titles, the most of any school in the conference, in their inaugural A-10 campaign.
