FAIRFAX, Va. – Rico Gomez's strong weekend on the track didn't go unnoticed.

On Tuesday, the George Mason sophomore was named the Atlantic 10 Conference Men's Indoor Track and Field Performer after a pair of second-place finishes on Saturday.

Gomez, a native of Upper Marlboro, Md., enjoyed a successful day at the SPIRE NCAA Division I Track & Field Invitational at the SPIRE Institute on Saturday in Geneva, Ohio. He finished second in the 300-meter dash with a personal-best time of 33.69.

He then anchored the 4x400-meter relay team to a second-place finish with a time of 3:07.99. The 4x400-meter relay team has the fastest time in the Atlantic 10 by more than five seconds and is the 20th fastest 4x4 team in the country.

Gomez and the Patriots will be in action this weekend with the A-10 Indoor Men's and Women's Track & Field Championships on Saturday and Sunday at the George Mason Field House.
