Ole Miss’s Alicia Burnett Finishes Fourth in NCAA 100-Meter Final
Eugene, Ore. — Ole Miss senior Alicia Burnett finished fourth in the 100-meter dash at the NCAA Outdoor Championships Saturday at Hayward Field. Burnett crossed the finish line in 11.05 seconds with a wind reading of 0.0, earning five team points for the Rebels, according to meet results.

Burnett’s season was notable for her transfer from Missouri and her historic achievements at Ole Miss. She became the first SEC women’s 60-meter champion with a school-record time of 7.08 seconds. Overall, she finished her collegiate career as a five-time All-American, with 10 NCAA points, two SEC medals, and 18.5 conference points scored.
Her performances helped Ole Miss finish tied for 45th in the team standings with five points. The Rebels also had one male scorer, Jordan Urrutia, who placed eighth in the 200-meter dash. The season concludes for Ole Miss with upcoming competitions at the U.S. U20 Championships and the USATF Outdoor Championships in July.
