Fairfax, Va. – The NCAA First Round qualifiers begin Wednesday, May 27, and George Mason University will be well represented as several student-athletes look to advance on the national stage.

Freshman Davian Burke will get things started for the Patriots, competing in the 110m hurdles at 6 p.m. He is set to race in the first heat of six, facing a competitive field that includes athletes from Kent State, Florida State, South Florida, Florida, South Carolina, ULM, and Cornell. The top three finishers in each heat, along with the next six fastest times overall, will qualify for Friday’s quarterfinals.

Later that evening, at 8:20 p.m., Joziah Johnson, the reigning Atlantic 10 gold medalist in the 400m hurdles, will step onto the track. Johnson has been placed in the final heat and will race in lane four. His competition includes runners from North Carolina, Samford, South Florida, Tennessee, Coppin State, Howard, and Georgia Tech. Like the 110m hurdles, the top three in each heat and the next six fastest times will move on to the quarterfinal round.

On Thursday, Kailynn Tyson will be the only Patriot in action. She will compete in the long jump at 4:30 p.m. Tyson is also scheduled to return to competition on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. for the triple jump.

Friday’s events will feature two more Mason athletes. Geni Roberts is slated to compete in the triple jump at 2:30 p.m., while Wesley Bond will close out the day with the 3000m steeplechase at 5:40 p.m.

With strong performances across a variety of events, George Mason’s athletes are poised to make an impact at this year’s NCAA First Round qualifiers.
