FAIRFAX, Va. – The conference accolades were aplenty for the George Mason men's and women's track and field teams on Wednesday.

The Patriots placed 14 freshmen – seven men and seven women – on the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Teams. In addition, recent graduates Sharon Dorsey and Shelby Garnand and rising senior John Seals were tabbed to the A-10 Outdoor Track & Field All-Academic Teams.

The All-Rookie teams are comprised of the top rookie performer in each event from meets conducted from the start of the regular season through the Atlantic 10 Championships. The teams were selected based off meet results submitted through the Track & Field Results Reporting System (TFRRS).

On the men's side, Andrew Carlin (10,000 meters), Nick Corbin (110-meter hurdles), Cameron Faint (400-meter hurdles), Jake Lonsdale (1,500 meters), Avory Ransome (shot put), Harrison Shotwell (pole vault) and Cameron Steven (800 meters) were tabbed to the All-Rookie Team.

For the women, A-10 Championship Most Outstanding Female Rookie GJaudy John-Wallace (100 and 200 meters) along with Camryn Harris (pole vault), Catherine Jackson (100-meter hurdles), Davina Lane (400-meter hurdles), Allison Rice (10,000 meters), Kiana Stallworth (long jump) and Autumn White (pole vault) all made the team.

Academically, the Patriots continued to show their prowess with three on the A-10 All-Academic Teams. The teams are comprised of student-athletes who were selected based on their athletic and academic performance. To be nominated, student-athletes must have a GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) for their entire academic career. The teams were selected through voting conducted by the league's sports information directors.

Dorsey, a sprinter from Baltimore who graduated with her degree in environmental science earlier this month, was named to the All-Academic Team for the fifth time (indoor and outdoor) in her career. This honor comes a day after she was named to the prestigious Google Cloud Academic All-District ® Women's Track/Cross Country Team. She also received one of the A-10's 14 postgraduate scholarships and has been named to the A-10 Commissioner's Honor Roll six times.

She won six A-10 gold medals during her career, including helping the 4x400-meter relay team win the title earlier this month and set the A-10 Championship record with a time of 3:38.58 at George Mason Stadium.

Garnand, a pole vaulter from Chesapeake, Va., made the All-Academic Team for the first time in her career. Garnand, who recently graduated with her degree in kinesiology, won the gold medal in the pole vault at the A-10 Championships for the second straight year. For her career, she won three A-10 championships (indoor and outdoor) and was named to the A-10 Commissioner's Honor Roll three times.

Seals, the 2018 A-10 Outdoor Men's Outstanding Field Performer, was named to the All-Academic Team (indoor and outdoor) for the fourth time. The rising redshirt senior collected three medals at the 2018 A-10 Outdoor Championships, including winning gold in the 110-meter hurdles. He also qualified for the high jump in the 2018 NCAA East Preliminary Championships for the third time. The 2017 CoSIDA Academic All-American and USATFCCCA All-American also has been named to the A-10 Commissioner's Honor Roll five times.
