CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY
Mason will be competing in a championship event for the first time since March 1, 2020 when the Patriots participated in the 2020 A-10 Indoor Championships. The following conference championship meets (2020 outdoor, 2021 indoor) were canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Mason swept the men's and women's outdoor titles in 2019. It marked the second time in four years both teams claimed the A-10 Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
The Mason women have won the A-10 outdoor championship four of the last six years while the men were crowned A-10 outdoor champions in 2015 and 2016.

During the 2021 outdoor season, three Patriots broke school records –
Annabelle Eastman (5000m and 3000m steeplechase),

Hunter Jutras (10,000m).
In addition, Mason collected seven A-10 outdoor weekly awards:
Harrison Shotwell (2x),
