Smith Gilbert became the first female head coach of a men’s sports program in the history of Georgia Athletics.

Year two in 2023 directing UGA’s teams reaped noticeable dividends as Smith Gilbert was named the men and women’s U.S.Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) South Region Coach of the Year indoors and collected four top-10 national team finishes, including a runner-up showing for the Bulldog men at the 2023 NCAA Indoor

Championships.

The Georgia men had their top finish in history at the 2023 NCAA Indoor Championships, earning second-place honors with a program record 40 points. The finish was highlighted by school records in both the 200-meter dash (Matthew Boling, 20.12, No. 5 all-time collegiate performer) and 400m (Elija Godwin, 44.75, No. 5 all-time collegiate performer) for NCAA titles as well as a collegiate record score of 6,639 points from the 2023 USTFCCCA Indoor National Field Athlete of the Year, Kyle Garland, in the heptathlon. Garland’s score was only six points from the world record.

Boling joined Christopher Morales Williams, Caleb Cavanaugh and Will Sumner in the 4x400m relay at Nationals to score eight more points with a second-place finish. With Godwin running in place of Sumner, the Bulldogs ran a season-best relay of 3:02.90 at the Tiger Paw Invitational for the second-fastest finish in school history and fourth best in the nation in 2023. Also, Boling, Cavanaugh, Sumner and Godwin combined for runner-up honors in the relay at the SEC Championships.

The women finished fifth at the 2023 indoor Nationals after tallying 31 points. Individual performances from true freshmen Kaila Jackson and Autumn Wilson shined during the Lady Bulldogs’ trip to Albuquerque. Jackson, who was the SEC Freshman Runner of theYear indoors and outdoors, clocked a World Junior (under-20) and school record 7.07 to become the No. 4 all-time collegiate performer in the prelims before taking second in the 60m final with a 7.08. In addition, Jackson was eighth in the 200m final.

Wilson shot to No. 7 on the all-time collegiate performer’s list with a school record 22.42 in the 200m prelims and earned a bronze in the final (22.45). She complemented Jackson’s finish in the 60m by taking fourth in the final with a personal record 7.12.

Other notable 2023 First Team All-America performances on the track came from Sumner, a true freshman who battled for a seventh-place finish in the 800m indoors.

Sumner registered a 1:48.28 to win his first SEC title at the conference meet weeks earlier and set a school record with a 1:47.28 at the Music City Challenge.

Sumner was later voted the SEC Freshman Runner of the Year before also garnering the honor outdoors while Godwin was named the league’s Co-Runner of the Year honors. In addition, Boling collected his record-tying third SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year award.

Sumner was not the only Bulldog who shined at the 2023 SEC Indoor Championships.

Jackson earned second and fourth-place finishes in the 60m and 200m, respectively, while Wilson went fourth-fifth in the same short sprints. On the men’s side, Godwin captured the 400m title with a matching 44.75 (meet record) from Nationals and Boling was second in the 200m. In addition, Keshaun Black

competed at his first league meet and finished seventh with a 6.73.

A number of Georgia sprinters and hurdlers made significant improvements as well during the regular season, including Bella Witt clocking an 8.20 in the 60m hurdles, Kenondra Davis managing a 23.12 in the 200m, Aaliyah Butler registering a 52.92 in the 400m and Butler teaming with Dominique Mustin, Haley Tate and Zoe Pollock, who were all first-year Bulldogs, to record the school’s second-fastest 4x400m relay time in school history (3:33.28).

For the year, Georgia collected three national titles and two conference crowns to go with six school records (men’s 200m, men’s 400m, men’s 800m, decathlon, women’s 60m, women’s 200m) and 36 improvements to the school’s all-time top-10 lists.

Outdoors, Smith Gilbert’s squads were equally impressive. The Bulldog men posted a seventh-place finish at the NCAA Championships with 28 points, marking their sixth consecutive top-10 finish at the meet. Sumner highlighted Nationals after clocking the fifthbest time in collegiate history (1:44.26) to collect Georgia’s first NCAA 800m title. The USTFCCCA Outdoor South Region Men’s Track Athlete of the Year shaved more than two seconds off of his prep personal record in the 800m during his first season under Smith Gilbert and distance assistant Patrick Henner.

Sumner was one of nine Bulldog men who qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships. He ran a leg on the seventh place 4x400m relay team (3:03.22) at Nationals along with Morales Williams, Boling and Cavanaugh. Individually, Cavanaugh advanced to his first NCAA final in the 400m hurdles and scored thanks to a 49.20 for sixth place. This performance came after Cavanaugh dropped his career best to 49.04 in the hurdles at SECs. The Bulldogs’ final points at the meet came from graduate transfer Marc Minichello, who finished fourth in the javelin.

The Lady Bulldogs also managed to take 10th at the NCAA Championships with the contributions from 12 team members, including a half dozen sprinters who Smith Gilbert directly coaches. Kaila Jackson sped to a wind-aided 10.96 for fourth in the 100m final and also ran a leg on the scoring 4x100m relay, a quartet that included Aaliyah Butler, Brandee Presley and Autumn Wilson. The Lady Bulldogs ran a school record 42.87 to take sixth place. Also on the track, Dominique Mustin bettered her No. 2 spot in the school record books to 56.68 during the 400m hurdle semifinal.

In the jumps, Elena Kulichenko reached the six-foot mark for the sixth time of the season to take third (1.87m/6-1.50) in the high jump while Titiana March, who advanced to a jaw-dropping 10 straight NCAA Championships over her five-year career, concluded her run as a Lady Bulldog with a season-best mark of 13.67m/44-10.25 for fifth in the triple jump.

Garland gave the Bulldogs’ their third

USTFCCCA South Region Men’s Field Athlete of theYear honor after securing an SEC decathlon title and a silver medal in the combined evens at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

He scored the No. 3 all-time collegiate decathlon tally (8,630, NCAAs) and the No. 4 tally (8,589, SECs) and posted collegiate all-time dec bests in both the 110m hurdles (13.54) and the shot put (16.77m/55-0.25) during his final outdoor campaign.

Georgia’s successful 2023 outdoor postseason run began with the SEC Championships, including Boling collecting his record-breaking fourth SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year honor. The Bulldog sprinters, hurdlers and relays combined to score 68 points in the country’s toughest conference. While Sumner’s league crown in the 800m highlighted the weekend in Baton Rouge, Godwin managed a runner-up finish in the 400m and Jackson, who also won a bronze in the 200m, was second in her first outdoor final with a legal personal record of 11.04.

Smith Gilbert helped her team continue their onslaught of the school’s all-time top-10 lists, including school records in the women’s 4x100m and 4x400m relays, the men’s 4x400m relay and the men’s 800m. There were a total of 44 revisions to the Bulldog record books, including 29 in the sprints, hurdles and relays.

Two of those improvements came from a pair of freshmen in the 100m (Jackson’s 11.04, Wilson’s 11.17) and another in the 400m (Butler’s 51.32) as the trio passed one of the sport’s all-time greats in Gwen Torrence in the events (11.20, 51.60).

In her first season with the Bulldogs, Smith Gilbert guided the men to an eighthplace finish at the 2022 NCAA Indoor Championships. She led Boling to UGA’s first SEC 60m title as well as the Bulldogs’ first conference crown in the 4x400m relay. Highlighted by school records in the men’s 4x400m relay, distance medley relay, long jump, mile and women’s shot put, Smith Gilbert’s squads registered 30 improvements to the school’s all-time top-10 lists.

Outdoors, Georgia had seven First Team All-Americans while collecting four SEC crowns, seven school records and 26 improvements to the UGA record books in 2022.

Smith Gilbert directed the men to a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Championships during a campaign that was driven by her sprints corps. Following the collegiate season, Smith Gilbert continued to work with Godwin as he registered gold and bronze medals in the men’s 4x400m relay and the mixed 4x400m relay, respectively, at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Ore. Smith Gilbert extended her work with the Bulldogs’ talented duo of Boling and Godwin as the pair hit a level of success new to the Georgia program. Boling established school records in the 100m (9.98, No. 5 nationally) and 200m (19.92, No. 3 nationally), collected SEC

titles in both the 60m and outdoor 200m and finished as a national scorer in the 60m and 100m as well as becoming a top eight finisher in the 200m indoors and outdoors nationally.

Smith Gilbert’s leadership of Godwin was just as apparent as he posted his best finish at the SEC Championships of runner-up before earning a bronze medal nationally in the 400m with a then school record 44.50. Boling and Godwin were also two legs on the indoor 4x400m relay team that captured the 2022 SEC title for the first time in school history.

Godwin continued his success in the collegiate postseason as he re-set his own school record in the 400m with a 44.34 for fourth at the USATF Championships. Godwin’s splits on his opening legs of the mixed relay and men’s relay at Worlds were an impressive 44.89, 44.71, 44.46 and 44.28.

In addition, Smith Gilbert trained Cavanaugh in his third year to become an NCAA semifinalist after clocking the school’s fourth best 400m hurdle time in history (49.59) and taking fourth at SECs. Cavanaugh’s training partner, freshman Bryce McCray, also scored at the conference meet with the sixth-best time in UGA history (50.21). Working with short sprinter Delano Dunkley, Smith Gilbert helped him drop his 100m to 10.22 (No. 9 on UGA’s all-time top-10 list) and 60m to 6.65 (No. 4).

On the women’s side, first-year sprinter Kenondra Davis finished with the fourth-best indoor 200m time in school history (23.33) and the eighth-best outdoor finish (23.23) in 2022. Meanwhile, fellow freshman Eddiyah Frye qualified for the World Under-20 Championships thanks to her runner-up finish in the 100m hurdles at the USATF Championships with a time of 13.26, which stands eighth in the school record books. Indoors, Frye sped to an 8.23 in the 60m hurdles to move to No. 5 on UGA’s all-time top-10 list under Smith Gilbert’s direction.

The 2021 USC women’s squad gave Smith Gilbert her second national title in the last three NCAA Outdoor Championships, while the Trojan men finished in the top-five at the 2021 outdoor Nationals for the fourth time in the last seven championships under her guidance.

Smith Gilbert spent eight seasons (2014-21) as the Director of Track and Field at USC, building the program into a national powerhouse. She guided the women’s team to a 2018 NCAA Outdoor National Championship, earning the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Women’s (USTFCCCA) National Coach of theYear honor and being named the USATF Nike Coach of the Year. That same season, the Trojans’ men’s squad finished second at the NCAA Indoor Championships.

fifth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

TheTrojan track and field teams combined to finish in the top-10 an impressive 16 times in Smith Gilbert’s eight seasons at the helm. She mentored over 200 first-team All-Americans, while her teams set close to 130 school top-10 marks and 50 program records. Her athletes also won over 20 individual NCAA event titles.

Smith Gilbert garnered the USTFCCCA West Region Coach of the Year award on six occasions and is a five-time South Region Coach of theYear, two-time Pac-12 Coach of the Year and six-time Conference USA Coach of the Year. In 2015, she became the first woman to earn the Pac-12 Men’s Coach of theYear honor.

USC’s 2018 NCAA outdoor championships was just the second women’s title in program history. The women claimed the crown with a come-from-behind victory over Georgia in the 4X400m relay, the meet’s final event. That national championship was the culmination of another successful season under Smith Gilbert’s guidance. The women’s team also won the Pac-12 title, while the men’s squad finished third.

She led the USC men’s program to topfive national finishes in the outdoor championships in 2014, 2015, 2018 and 2021 while the women finished in the top-five of the outdoor event in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021.

Prior to her time with the Trojans, Smith Gilbert was a six-time Conference USA Coach of the Year at the University of Central Florida.

She guided the Knights’ women’s team to a program-best fifth-place finish at the 2013 NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships.

The Knights won six C-USA track and field indoor and outdoor crowns, while her athletes earned All-America status more than 100 times and set over 100 school records.

2003 National Assistant Coach of the Year 2007 USTFCCCA East Region Women’s Throws Coach of the Year 2009 USTFCCCA East Region Men’s Throws Coach of the Year With the arrival of his 28th year in red and black and in his 40th year overall coaching, Don Babbitt has transformed the Georgia throws program into arguably the most continually talented group in the country. And along a total of 30 NCAA champions and 149 All-Americans, the dean of SEC throws coaches is perhaps the most accomplished throwing coach in the world. Babbitt was promoted to Associate Head Coach in June 2015 and since his promotion, the Bulldogs have finished in the top six nationally 17 times, including two national team titles and a trio of runner-up finishes.

Most recently, Babbitt continued the development of his throwers by having two SEC scorers and making a pair of improvements to Georgia’s all-time top-10 lists during the 2023 indoor campaign. Ana da Silva posted a season-best shot put toss of 17.25 meters/56 feet, 7 ¼ inches to take fourth while fellow Brazilian Alencar Pereira managed a sixth-place showing in the weight throw. Pereira rocketed to fourth in the Bulldog record books in the weight at the Dr. MLK Jr. Invite with a toss of 21.89m/71-10. In the women’s weight, Elsie Igberaese improved to No. 7 on the school’s all-time top-10 list after reaching 19.57m/64-2.50 at the Tiger Paw Invite.

Babbitt’s throwers earned four All-America certificates in 2022, broke two school record and captured the women’s SEC outdoor shot put title.

Competing for the first time in the red and black, da Silva worked up to a school record of 17.52 meters/57 feet, 5 ¾ inches, which ranked ninth nationally, for bronze honors at the SEC Championships. The Brazil native answered that performance with a First Team All-America showing at Nationals after finishing seventh. Outdoors, da Silva launched the longest toss of her career for a school record (18.46/60-6.75) on her sixth and final toss to secure the Lady Bulldogs their first SEC shot put title since 2000. She went on to win the Brazilian National Championships and competed at the 2022 World Championships. Da Silva was one of a number of competitors who experienced success under Babbitt’s tutelage in 2022. Pereira earned SEC runner-up honors in the hammer throw after building to a PR of 70.74/232-1 during the regular season finale and qualified for Nationals for the second year in a row. Pereira’s year began with establishing a fresh career best in the weight throw (21.30/69-10.75) indoors. Another second-place finish at SECscame from Ahmed Magour in the javelin after the Qatar native acquired the fifth-longest throw in Bulldog history (74.40/244-1). He returned to score at his first NCAA Championships. In addition, Gavin Beverage eclipsed 61 feet outdoors in the shot put to earn a spot on the school’s all-time list and qualify for the NCAA Prelims. Igberaese, Mia Anderson and Julia Harisay also all tallied a combo of personal bests in the weight throw, shot put, hammer, discus and javelin.

In 2021, Babbitt wrapped up the collegiate development of javelin standout Marie-Therese Obst as she won seven meets in her final campaign, including capturing the 2021 SEC and NCAA titles. Obst topped out at a

school record 61.37 meters (201 feet, 4 inches) in her final home meet at the Spec Towns Invitational and ended as the NCAA’s No. 4 all-time collegiate performer.

Babbitt concluded coaching one of the Bulldogs’ all-time greats, Denzel Comenentia, in 2019. Comenentia finished his UGA career as a 13-time First Team All-American, eight-time SEC individual champion, two-time NCAA individual champion and the Amsterdam native accomplished a feat in 2019 that had never been conquered in history. Comenentiabalanced a trio of events at the NCAA Championships and scored in all three, including a runner-up finish in the shot put (20.77m, 68-1.75) and fifth-place showings in both the discus (a personal record of 59.97m, 196-9) and the hammer throw (72.93m, 293-3). Following Babbitt’s leadership, Comenentia was named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Co-South Region Men’s Field Athlete of the Year outdoors for the second straight year. He also captured the SEC Commissioner’sTrophy for the second year in a row as the league’s high scorer at the conference meet thanks to his third shot put title in a row and second-place finishes in both the discus and hammer. His personal bests from his final outdoor campaign featured a hammer mark of 76.80m (252-0, No. 10 all-time collegiate performer, longest NCAA mark in 2019, Dutch national record), a shot put effort of 20.78m (68-2.25, No. 5 on 2019 NCAA list) and a personal-best discus mark that finished No. 2 on Georgia’s all-time list.

Comenentia earned another USTFCCCA honor at the conclusion of the indoor season as he was third in both the weight throw (23.32m, 76-6.25) and the shot (20.58m, 67-6.25) at the NCAA meet and won his second SEC indoor shot crown. Babbitt tuned his All-American up to muscle a school record in the shot (20.72m, 67-11.75), which ended up being the country’s third-longest toss of the year, and the NCAA’s third-longest weight throw of 2019 with a mark of 23.52m (77-2).

On the women’s side, Obst launched the then fifth-longest javelin effort in UGA history during the 2019 campaign, was third at SECs and qualified for another NCAA Prelims. In addition, Hayden Merrick worked her way up to No. 4 on Georgia’s all-time list in the discus to finish one spot from qualifying for Nationals with a toss of 52.34m (171-9).

In 2018, Babbitt directed Comenentia to two NCAA crowns, four First Team All-America honors and a trio of SEC individual championships. Most importantly, Comenentia was the key component to bringing the Bulldogs’ first NCAA team crown back to Athens outdoors. Sweeping the hammer throw and shot put at the SEC Outdoor Championships for the second straight year (while also placing in the discus to win the Commissioner’s Trophy as the meet’s high scorer), Comenentia collected the hammer and shot put NCAA titles together for only the third time in meet history to lead the Bulldog men to their national championships. Babbitt first coached the Amsterdam native to reach a school record distance of 20.44m (67-0.75) in the indoor shot put and 23.71m (77-9.50) in the weight throw, which is a mark that sits only behind one of Babbitt’s former throwers, NCAA champion and Olympian Andras Haklits (79.30m, 80-2). Outdoors, Comenentia improved to second on Georgia’s all-time list in the shot (20.88m, 68-6), hammer (a Dutch national record of 76.41m, 250-8) and discus (58.81m, 192-11). The effort in the hammer put Comenentia as the No. 10 all-time collegiate performer and gave the Bulldogs two on the all-time list as Haklits remains No. 2.

Under Babbitt’s guidance since 1996, Georgia’s throwers have reached a high level of success. The Bulldog throwers have captured 15 NCAA titles, earned 110 All-American certificates and won 63 SEC titles since Babbitt arrived in Athens.

Thanks to the performances listed above and others, Babbitt has garnered the following honors while coaching at Georgia: • 2003 USTFCCCA National Assistant Coach of the Year • 2007 USTFCCCA East Region Women’s Throws Coach of the Year • 2009 USTFCCCA East Region Men’s Throws Coach of the Year Babbitt came to Athens from California State University in Los Angeles where he was an assistant from 1988-96. He built the Cal State-Los Angeles throwing program into the strongest at the NCAA Division II level, producing 46 NCAA qualifiers, 39 All-Americans and 15 NCAA Champions.

Babbitt’s success at the international level is also highlighted below: • 58 athletes who have competed at the Olympic Games/World Cham-

7

pionships His throwers have captured 24 medals in international competition His throwers have won 20 titles at the USA Championships Eight NCAA titles, 59 All-American honors and 29 SEC crowns during the last 16 seasons further solidified Babbitt’s hold as one of the world’s premier throws coaches. The trend became even more evident as the native of Santa Monica, Calif., led freshman Freya Jones to the 2013 NCAA javelin title and four other throwers to All-America honors that year. In 2014, his throwers swept the SEC hammer throw titles (first time the Bulldogs have won both since 2001; UGA accomplished the feat again in 2017) and added six more All-America certificates, including three top-six national finishes in the men’s hammer, men’s shot put and women’s javelin. Alex Poursanidis won his second consecutive SEC hammer championship in 2015 and Ashinia Miler topped a 20-year-old school record in the indoor shot put (20.31m, 66-7.75) as Babbitt’s corps picked up another pair of First Team All-America honors at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. When 2016 had come and gone, Babbitt had directed then freshman Comenentia to First Team All-America honors in the indoor shot put and Ashinia Miller to a sweep of the SEC shot put titles.

Babbitt’s throwers have seen success throughout the 2000s. Nikola Lomnicka registered four All-America certificates over her years at UGA (2010-12) to go along with the 2010 national title in the hammer throw, marking Georgia’s third championship in the event during a five-year span (2006-10). In 2009, Chris Hill won his second consecutive NCAA title in the javelin throw and capped his NCAA career with a USATF National Championship as well with a throw of 83.87m (275-2). This mark established a new NCAA American collegiate record.

Other notable Bulldog performers under Babbitt’s tutelage include now former collegiate record holder Jenny Dahlgren (hammer throw), 2003 NCAA champion Lucais MacKay (hammer) and the three-time national champion Haklits (two hammer, one weight). In 2007, Dahlgren finished her Bulldog career with three NCAA titles, eight All-American certificates and four SEC titles while the Argentinian shattered school, SEC, collegiate, NCAA Championship and South American records in the hammer throw (72.94m, 239-3) under Babbitt’s guidance. Two years before Dahlgren’s finale, Babbitt led his throwers to eight top-20 finishes during the 2005 NCAA Championships, highlighted by Trevor Snyder’s second-place finish in the javelin and Dahlgren’s pair of top-five finishes in the NCAA Championships.

In 2003, Babbitt guided MacKay to All-America honors in the weight, hammer and discus as MacKay became a six-time All-America thrower while at UGA. Babbitt also coached MacKay to an NCAA title in the hammer throw and led Panagiotis Mavraganis to All-America honors in the weight throw as well as SEC titles in the weight and hammer throws in 2003.

In addition, Babbitt has had a long-term coaching relationship with Haklits, the four-time Croatian Olympian and hammer record holder. Haklits finished eighth in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and seventh in the hammer at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, Germany.

Babbitt has also guided a number of the world’s top performers at the professional level. These include 2004 Olympic champion and 2005 World Outdoor shot put champion Adam Nelson and 2006 World Indoor and 2007 World Outdoor shot put champion and 2012 Olympic bronze medalist Reese Hoffa. Hoffa developed into the world’s most consistent thrower over a 15-year period and will go down, along with Nelson, as one of the all-time greats in the sport. Babbitt is has also served as the personal coach of eight-time U.S. Champion and current American record holder Breaux Greer (javelin), as well as Canadian record holder JasonTunks (discus) and three-time Canadian Olympian and former Canadian record holder Brad Snyder (shot put).

Babbitt received his bachelor’s degree in Biology from UCLA in 1989 and his Master’s degree in Exercise Science from Cal State-Los Angeles in 1994. He is currently completing a PhD in Kinesiology (Sport Pedagogy) at the University of Georgia.

An avid writer and clinician, Babbitt has written over 83 articles and three book chapters for publications on six continents and in six different languages.

2017 RMAC Outdoor Women’s Head Coach of the Year 2017 RMAC Outdoor Men’s Head Coach of the Year Ryan Baily was added as an assistant coach in December 2023.

Baily coaches multi-event athletes, pole vaulters and jumpers at Georgia after serving in the same role at Colorado State. The Scottsbluff, Neb., left a strong impact at CSU, helping coach multiple Rams to a combined 19 school records, 23 Mountain West individual titles, eight All-America honors and two Honorable Mention All-America honors.

Baily replaced James Thomas, who recently took the head coaching position at Oklahoma.

During the 2022-2023 season, Baily guided a sweep of the indoor multis at the Mountain West Championships as Lexie Keller won the pentathlon with a score of 4,306 and Drew Thompson won the heptathlon with 5,281 points.

Keller went on to earn her third All-American honor in the pentathlon at the 2023 NCAA Indoor Championships. Thompson won the outdoor decathlon championship as well, scoring a lifetime best of 7,338.

Baily also guided Sharde Johnson to a first-place finish in the high jump (1.73 meters/5 feet, 8 inches) at the Mountain West Outdoor Championships.

Keller concluded her season at the USA National Championships in Eugene, Ore., where she finished in 10th place and earned an invitation to compete for Team USA in the Thorpe Cup. In 2021-22, Baily helped coach a number of athletes to both school records and championships. Eldridge Harris broke the school record for outdoor pole vault (5.19m/17-0.25) to win the Mountain West Championship and Celyn Stermer broke the school record for indoor pole vault (4.12m/13-6.25).

Allam Bushara broke the school record for indoor triple jump (16.07m/528.75) en route to an Indoor Mountain West Championship in the event.

Baily also coached Keller to a third-place finish in the heptathlon at the Indoor NCAA Championships and sixth in the Outdoor NCAA Championships. Keller also won the heptathlon while setting a new meet record at the Mountain West Championship meet (5,834) and set new school records

as she recorded the second-best heptathlon and pentathlon in conference history.

The 2018-19 campaign brought a flurry of accolades. Hunter Powell won indoor heptathlon and outdoor decathlon in the Mountain West Conference, totaling five in six seasons. Powell also qualified for the NCAA Championships in the decathlon. MaryBeth Sant broke school records in both the 60-meter dash (7.18) and 100m (11.41), while finishing fifth in the 60m at the Milrose Games among professional athletes. She also led off CSU’s first-ever 4x100m All-American Relay. Nick Kravec capped his career off with a runner-up to Powell at the MWC Championships. The Rams’ decathlon squad finished the year as the top-ranked decathlon team in the NCAA. Among the highlights for Baily’s athletes in 2017-18 was the performance of high jumper Autumn Gardner, who cleared 1.84m/6-0.5 to break CSU’s previous program record at the NoCo Challenge. That performance ranked Gardner sixth in Mountain West history in the event and distinguished her as one of five high jumpers in the conference to leap higher than six feet that decade. In addition, Gardner finished as the NCAA’s No. 8-ranked performer in the event in 2018.

Under Baily’s guidance, the Rams experienced one of the most successful stretches in the combined events in program history. During the 2016-17 indoor season, Hunter Price shattered the Mountain West and CSU records in the heptathlon, scoring 5,906 at the CSM Alumni Classic & Multis. Price broke his own records again at the NCAA Indoor Championships, piling up 5,996 points to place fourth and earn First-Team All-America status. No other heptathlete in MW history has finished as high as Price at the NCAA Indoor Championships.

The 2016-17 season continued with more success from Baily’s combined events athletes, as Josh Cogdill earned Second-Team All-America honors and Price earned Honorable Mention honors at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Cogdill placed 16th at the national meet, marking the highest finish for a CSU decathlete since 1982 (John Harrell – 10th). During the outdoor season, Price broke the CSU record and set the No. 2 all-time mark in conference history with a score of 7,801 in the elite invitational section of the Mt. SAC/California Invitational Combined Events.

Among Baily’s top multi-event athletes at CSU was Jessica Green, who placed 22nd in the heptathlon (5,032 points) at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. With her performance, Green became the first CSU athlete to earn any level of All-America honors in the women’s heptathlon since 2008. Baily also coached an All-American in his first season at CSU, guiding Justin Green to Second Team honors (11th place – 5,348 points) in 2015.

Prior to his time at Colorado State, Baily was the head track & field and cross country coach at Chadron State. In his five years at Chadron State, Baily’s men’s team placed as high as ninth nationally in indoor track & field and 16th nationally in outdoor track & field. Baily’s Chadron State teams broke 18 men’s and 22 women’s school records and featured 22 All-Americans and a Division II national champion. His teams were also honored for their work in the classroom, as his men’s team earned the USTFCCCA’s Scholar Team of the Year award in 2011.

Baily has been recognized for his teams’ accomplishments several times and was a seven-time Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Coach of theYear.

Baily earned honors as recently as in 2013 (men’s outdoor), also earning that honor twice in 2011 (women’s indoor, women’s outdoor) as well as in 2010 (men’s indoor).

While the head coach at Western State (2005-09), Baily earned that same honor in 2008 (men’s indoor) and twice in 2007 (women’s outdoor, men’s outdoor). Additionally, Baily was named the USTFCCCA North Central Regional Coach of the Year in 2008. Among the top performances by his Western State squads was its showing at the 2007 RMAC Outdoor Championships, where each of his women’s and men’s teams placed second.

A native of Scottsbluff, Neb., Baily was a conference champion in the decathlon at Chadron State. He was named the Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year while attaining his bachelor’s degree in education (2003) and added a master’s degree in education in 2005 from the University of the Cumberlands.

In addition, Baily holds a USA Track & Field Level I certification.

Karim Abdel Wahab Assistant Coach (Sprints, Hurdles)

COACHING EXPERIENCE • 2004-06, Volunteer Assistant (Sprints, Hurdles), Colorado School of Mines • 2006-10, Assistant Coach (Sprints, Hurdles), Northern Colorado • 2010-18, Assistant Coach (Sprints, Hurdles), Colorado State • 2018-23, Assistant Coach (Sprints, Hurdles), South Carolina • 2023-Present, Assistant Coach (Sprints, Hurdles), Georgia

Karim Abdel Wahab was added as an assistant coach in July 2023 and he helps guides the sprinters and hurdlers.

Abdel Wahab, who is a native of Egypt, joins Georgia’s staff after serving in a similar role for the University South Carolina team over the last five years. The veteran sprints and hurdles coach was instrumental for the Gamecocks, helping the women experience some of the finest seasons in well over a decade.

During the 2023 indoor season, the South Carolina women’s 4x400-meter relay finished second at the SEC Indoor Championships and then seventh at the NCAA Championships. Outdoors, Abdel Wahab coached true freshman Sylvia Chelangat to a new 800m school record (2:02.58) at the UF Tom Jones Memorial, marking an eight second improvement from Chelangat’s previous personal best. This was her first year specializing in the 800m. Later during the outdoor season, Chelangat finished as the runner-up at the SEC Championships.

In 2022, Abdel Wahab coached 13 All-Americans and witnessed a handful of scorers at both the SEC Championships and NCAA Championships.

Among those All-Americans were Stephanie Davis, Makenzie Dunmore and Destinee Rocker. Rocker broke the school record in the 60m hurdles (8.07) and registered the third best 100m hurdle time of (12.95). Rocker also finished eighth at the NCAA Outdoor Championship to earn All-American status, while Davis earned hers as part of the 4x400m relay team – the same team that claimed the title at the Penn Relays. In fact, that same relay team of Davis, Dunmore, Angel Frank and Jahnile Registre broke the 4x400m relay school record at the SEC Outdoor Championships with a time of 3:25.45.

The 2022 season also yielded student-athletes like freshmen Jayla Jamison who became the USATF Jr. Nationals champion in the 200m and earned silver in the 200m at World Jr. Championships for Team USA with a time of 22.77. Jamison was the first leg on the 4x100m relays at Worlds, setting a new American record, helping her team earn a silver medal and only finishing behind the relay team from Jamaica.

Abdel Wahab continues to work with Olympians and athletes from the World Championships, including the likes of Gamecock Alum Wadeline Jonathas. Jonathas, who continued to train in Columbia under Abdel Wahab’s tutelage, competed in the 400m for Team USA in the Tokyo Olympics. He has also coached Aliyah Abrams to the Tokyo Games for her home country of Guyana. Both Jonathas and Abrams made it to the semifinals of the 400m at the Olympics. Jonathas was also a member of the women’s 4×400m relay team that advanced in the first round of competition, later earning gold medal for her efforts.

In addition, Abrams competed in the 2022 World Indoor Championships where she finished fifth and broke the South American and Guyana record.

Prior to the shutdown because of COVID-19, Abdel Wahab continued to coach Jonathas and Abrams throughout their run to the 2019 IAAF World Championships in Doha, Qatar. Abrams captured the Guyana national title in the 400m while Jonathas qualified for Team USA with her finish at USA Nationals. Jonathas eventually reached the IAAF World Championship final in the 400m and posted a new collegiate record (49.60) to finish fourth in the world.

In 2019 and his first year as a Gamecock, Abdel Wahab’s student-athletes achieved numerous milestones, including the women’s 4x400m relay team winning the NCAA Indoor Championship. Abrams was a silver medalist in

10

the 400m at the NCAA Indoor Championship that same season.

Moving over to the outdoor season, Abdel Wahab coached Jonathas to win the NCAA Championship in the women’s 400m, while her teammate Abrams placed fifth overall in the 400m. That year, South Carolina was the only school in the nation that sent two women to the NCAA finals in the 400m and both achieved personal bests in the finals. The 4x400m relay took third at the same championship.

Abdel Wahab came to Columbia after eight seasons in charge of the sprinters and hurdlers at Colorado State University. His student-athletes combined for 13 new school records, including three Mountain West Conference records.

During his eight seasons in Fort Collins, Abdel Wahab led his student-athletes to six All-America honors and one honorable mention All-America honor. From 2012-14, Abdel Wahab coachedTrevor Brown to five All-America finishes, including laurels in the 110m and 400m hurdles outdoors and the 60m hurdles indoors. Brown left CSU as the Mountain West’s record-holder in the 60mH (7.73) and 110mH (13.55).

On the women’s side, Abdel Wahab molded Lorenda Holston into an All-American in the 60m and 100m hurdles in 2017. Holston set the Mountain West’s all-time record in the 60mH (8.06). Before joining the staff at Colorado State, Abdel Wahab spent four seasons at the University of Northern Colorado. He coached UNC’s first-ever NCAA West Preliminary Round qualifiers in the men’s 100m and 200m, helped four Bears set new school records and led multiple Big Sky Conference champions. He also spent two seasons at Colorado School of Mines.

Prior to arriving in Athens, Chorny had served as the Director of Track & Field and Cross Country at Miami University (Ohio) since 2015.

A three-time All-American for Indiana who graduated in 1999, Chorny was a volunteer assistant for the Hoosiers from 2007-13. His first job with Miami was as an assistant in 2013.

Chorny was the 2022 (men’s cross country), 2021 (men’s outdoor track) and 2018 (men’s cross country) Mid-American Conference (MAC) Coach of theYear after guiding the RedHawks to 17 All-America honors in 10 different events. His distance corps set 27 school records at Miami in 23 different events.

Under Chorny’s leadership, Miami earned the 2018 Mid-American Conference championship in men’s cross country for the first time since 1998, going on to claim the crown again in 2022. The RedHawks also captured the 2021 men’s outdoor track and field MAC championship, a trophy they had not won since 1993.

Miami student-athletes on Chorny’s teams succeeded not only in competition, but also in the classroom. The RedHawks program was consistently recognized by the USTFCCCA as All-Academic, including the 2022 men and women’s cross country teams and the 2023 men and women’s track and field teams.

The 2022-23 season saw Miami sweep the individual titles at the MAC Cross Country Championships for the first time ever, as Obsaa Feda won the men’s race and Carmen Riano came in first in the women’s race. Both runners went on to earn USTFCCCA All-Region honors, with Riano advancing to the national meet for the first time. The RedHawk men earned the MAC team championship, while the Miami women placed fourth at the MAC meet. Chorny’s runners produced a total of three First-Team All-MAC selections, three Second-Team picks and a MAC Freshman of the Year winner (Patrick Wills) to go along with eight Academic All-MAC honorees. For his efforts, Chorny was named MAC Men’s Cross Country Coach of the Year.

Ryan Smith was named MAC Men’s Most Outstanding Field Performer after scoring 24 points across four events, including the discus title. Miami women also finished first in the steeplechase (Riano), 5K (Riano) and 10K (Nuttall) at the MAC meet, with the women’s team coming in third place and the men in fourth (including Harders’ steeplechase win for a third straight spring). Ten RedHawks were named All-MAC (four on the First Team), 10 received Academic All-District honors and 19 qualified for the Academic All-MAC

squad.

In 2021-22, the RedHawk women finished second and the RedHawk men came in third at the MAC cross country meet. Three Miami runners placed in the top 10 at the women’s meet: Carmen Riano (third place), Ava Nuttall (eighth), and Katie Vitou (ninth). On the men’s side, Anthony Camerieri came in sixth. All four student-athletes received All-MAC honors, to go along with 13 Miami runners being named Academic All-MAC. During the women’s indoor track season, Lotti Roemer won the mile to highlight Miami’s performance at the MAC championships, while the team finished seventh in the league. The outdoor season saw Charlie Harders and Carmen Riano sweep the steeplechase races at the MAC meet, with Riano also finishing atop the podium in the women’s 5000m and Finley Mclear winning the men’s 800m. The RedHawks finished fourth as a team in the men’s meet and fifth in the women’s competition. Seven Miami student-athletes competed in the NCAA East prelims, highlighted by Riano, who advanced to the national meet and finished as an All-American in the steeplechase (14th place). Thirty-seven different RedHawks on the track and field team were recognized as Academic All-MAC between the indoor and outdoor seasons.

The 2020-21 academic year was highlighted by the RedHawk men finishing second in the MAC cross country meet and first in the conference’s outdoor track championships. Miami had four All-MAC performers in cross country, a MAC individual champion in the women’s indoor pentathlon (Sarah Bruns), and a myriad of MAC outdoor champions. Olivia Bechtel won the 200m and 400m at the MAC meet that spring, Charlie Harders won the steeplechase, Sean Torpy won the 1500m, Finley Mclear won the 800m, and Miami’s 4x400m relay team also took first place. Chorny was named MAC Men’s Coach of the Year after the RedHawk men brought home the team title. Miami also fared exceedingly well on the national stage, with Finley Mclear taking second in the indoor 800m and 4th in the outdoor 800m. The RedHawks’ DMR team (Sean Torpy, Luke Finnegan, Andrew Schroff, Chris Torpy) picked up All-American honors as well, claiming eighth at the NCAA indoor championships. In addition, Sean Torpy became Miami’s first Academic All-American since 2008.

Before 2019-20 competition was cut short by the pandemic, Miami seized top-three finishes in the MAC men’s and women’s cross country meets for the third year in a row. The RedHawk men were runners-up, while the women came in third place. David Coffey (first team), Ryan Sharkey (second team), and Emma Bryant (second team) were named All-MAC that fall. Miami finished seventh in the MAC indoor championships, the program’s best mark since 2013. Olivia Bechtel led the way with a first-place finish in the 400m.

2018-19 brought Miami its first MAC men’s cross country team title in 20 years. Chorny was named Coach of the Year, with five RedHawk men earning All-MAC honors. On the women’s side, Alesha Vovk was a first-team All-MAC pick as the RedHawks came in third at the MAC cross country meet. The Miami women finished 10th in the MAC in the indoor championships, but came in sixth at the outdoor meet, with the Miami men taking third. Danielle Collier (javelin), Olivia Bechtel (400m), and the women’s 4x400m relay each took first at the outdoor meet, while the Torpy brothers led the way for the men. Sean Torpy won the 800m, 1500m and 5000m races, with Chris Torpy taking first in the steeplechase. Sean Torpy was named MAC Men’s Most Valuable Performer, and Bechtel was recognized on the women’s side for Most Outstanding Performance. Both Torpy brothers went on to become NCAA All-Americans that spring: Sean was 17th in the nation in the 800m, and Chris was 14th in the 1500m. Danielle Collier took 10th place at the national meet in the javelin, also becoming an All-American.

In 2017-18, Chorny’s second year at the helm, the women’s cross country team improved to third place in the MAC after finishing seventh the previous season. Two RedHawk women and four men were recognized as All-MAC that fall. During the spring, Miami took first place in two men’s (800m, 1500m) and two women’s (10,000m, 4x400m relay) track events. Maria Scavuzzo was credited with the Most Outstanding Performance (women’s) at the meet. ChrisTorpy also took 23rd place in

Deanna Hill Assistant Coach (Sprints, Hurdles)

Deanna Hill was hired as an assistant coach for Georgia’s sprinters and hurdlers in July 2021, soon after her former head coach at Southern California, Caryl Smith Gilbert, accepted the Director ofTrack & Field position with the Bulldogs.

Following a successful first year in Athens, Hill went back to work for Smith Gilbert in 2023. The Bulldog men had their top finish in history at the NCAA Indoor Championships, earning runner-up honors with a program record 40 points. The finish was highlighted by a school record in the 200-meter dash (Matthew Boling, 20.12, No. 5 all-time collegiate performer) for an NCAA title.

Boling joined Christopher Morales Williams, Caleb Cavanaugh and Will Sumner in the 4x400m relay at Nationals to score eight more points with a second-place finish. With Godwin running in place of Sumner, the Bulldogs ran a season-best relay of 3:02.90 at theTiger Paw Invitational for the second-fastest finish in school history and fourth best in the nation in 2023. Also, Boling, Cavanaugh, Sumner and Godwin combined for runner-up honors at the SEC Championships.

The women finished fifth at the 2023 Nationals after tallying 31 points under the help from Hill. Individual performances from true freshmen Kaila Jackson and Autumn Wilson shined during the Lady Bulldogs’ trip to Albuquerque. Jackson, who was the SEC Freshman Runner of theYear, clocked a World Junior (under-20) and school record 7.07 to become the No. 4 all-time collegiate performer in the prelims before taking second in the 60m final with a 7.08. In addition, Jackson was eighth in the 200m final.

Wilson shot to No. 7 on the all-time collegiate performer’s list with a school record 22.42 in the 200m prelims and earned a bronze in the final (22.45). She complemented Jackson’s finish in the 60m by taking fourth in the final with a personal record 7.12.

At the 2023 SEC Indoor Championships, Jackson earned second and fourth-place finishes in the 60m and 200m, respectively, while Wilson went fourth-fifth in the same short sprints. On the men’s side, Hill coached trackside as Boling took second in the 200m. In addition, Keshaun Black competed at his first league meet and finished seventh in the 60m with a 6.73.

A number of Georgia sprinters and hurdlers made significant improvements under Hill and the rest of the coaching staff as well during the regular season, including Bella Witt clocking an 8.20 in the 60m hurdles, Kenondra Davis managing a 23.12 in the 200m and Aaliyah Butler teaming with Dominique Mustin, Haley Tate and Zoe Pollock, who were all first-year Bulldogs, to record the school’s second-fastest 4x400m relay time in school history (3:33.28).

For the year, Georgia collected three national titles and two conference crowns to go with five school records (men’s 200m, men’s 400m, men’s 800m, women’s 60m, women’s 200m) on the track and 21 improvements to the school’s all-time top-10 lists in the sprints and mid-distance.

Outdoors, the contributions from the individuals who Hill worked with were equally impressive. Will Sumner ran a leg on the seventh place 4x400m relay team (3:03.22) at Nationals along with Morales Williams, Boling and Cavanaugh.

The Lady Bulldogs also managed to take 10th at the NCAA Championships with the contributions from 12 team members, including a

14

half dozen sprinters who Hill helps instruct. Kaila Jackson sped to a wind-aided 10.96 for fourth in the 100m final and also ran a leg on the scoring 4x100m relay, a quartet that included Aaliyah Butler, Brandee Presley and Autumn Wilson. The Lady Bulldogs ran a school record 42.87 to take sixth place.

Georgia’s successful 2023 outdoor postseason run began with the SEC Championships. The Bulldog sprinters, hurdlers and relays combined to score 68 points in the country’s toughest conference.

Jackson, who also won a bronze in the 200m, was second in her first outdoor final with a legal personal record of 11.04 in the 100m.

Thanks in part to Hill’s training, the Bulldogs continue their onslaught of the school’s all-time top-10 lists, including school records in the women’s 4x100m and 4x400m relays, the men’s 4x400m relay and the men’s 800m. There were a total of 44 revisions to the Bulldog record books, including 29 in the sprints, hurdles and relays. Two of those improvements came from a pair of freshmen in the 100m (Jackson’s 11.04, Wilson’s 11.17) and another in the 400m (Butler’s 51.32) as the trio passed one of the sport’s all-time greats in Gwen Torrence in the events (11.20, 51.60).

During her first season representing Georgia in 2022, Hill helped guide the Bulldog short and long sprinters as well as UGA’s hurdlers to six First Team All-America certificates, five school records, two SEC individual crowns and an NCAA individual title to go along with a gold and a bronze medal at the World Athletics Championships.

Hill began work with the Bulldogs’ talented duo of Boling and Godwin as the pair hit yet another level of success. Boling established school records in the 100-meter dash (9.98, No. 5 nationally) and 200m (19.92, No. 3 nationally), collected SEC titles in both the 60m and outdoor 200m and finished as a national scorer in the 60m and 100m as well as a top eight finisher in the 200m indoors and outdoors. Hill’s assistance with Godwin was just as apparent as he posted his best finish at the SEC Championships of runner-up before earning a bronze medal in the 400m with a then school record 44.50.

Godwin continued his success in the collegiate postseason as he re-set his own school record in the 400m with a 44.34 for fourth at the USATF Championships. He was selected to run on both the men’sTeam USA 4x400m and mixed 4x400m relays at the World Athletics Championships where he collected a gold and a bronze medal, respectively.

Godwin’s splits on his opening legs were 44.89, 44.71, 44.46 and 44.28.

In addition, Hill helped Cavanaugh become an NCAA semifinalist after clocking the school’s fourth best 400m hurdle time in history (49.59) and taking fourth at SECs. Cavanaugh’s training partner, freshman Bryce McCray, also scored at the conference meet with the sixth-best time in UGA history (50.21). Working with short sprinter Delano Dunkley, Hill helped him drop his 100m to 10.22 (No. 9 on UGA’s all-time top-10 list) and 60m to 6.65 (No. 4).

First-year sprinter Kenondra Davis also finished with the fourthbest indoor 200m time in school history (23.33) and the eighth-best outdoor finish (23.23). Also on the women’s side, fellow freshman Eddiyah Frye qualified for the World Under-20 Championships thanks to her runner-up finish in the 100m hurdles at the USATF Championships with a time of 13.26, which stands eighth in the school record books.

Indoors, Frye sped to an 8.23 in the 60m hurdles to move to No. 5 on UGA’s all-time top-10 list.

Hill, a native of Orlando, Fla., was a 17-time First-Team All-American for USC and won the 2018 NCAA outdoor team title with Smith Gilbert as head coach. In fact, Hill was on the Trojans’ 4x400-meter relay team that clinched her team’s one-point victory over the Lady Bulldogs during USC’s run to the 2018 national championship. A captain for theTrojans, Hill was awarded the Most Valuable Female Athlete for her team three consecutive years. Her relay squad earned an honorary ESPY award for the “2018 Best Comeback.”

Hill returned to her hometown after graduating from USC and took over as the head varsity boys and girls coach at Lake Highland Preparatory School to start the 2019 season. While guiding Lake Highland, her school won its first boys’ district championship in 21 years and its first regional championship in school history.

orn in Fitzgerald, Ga., on Feb. 6, 1914, Forrest “Spec” Towns became, over the next several decades, the greatest track and field legend in the history of the University of Georgia and the state.

Towns and his family moved to Augusta in 1923, where he attended Richmond Academy and played only one sport — football. But Towns earned a track and field scholarship as a high jumper after a neighbor saw him win a backyard high jumping contest. He entered Georgia in September of 1933 and within three years was the Olympic 120-yard hurdles champion and held both Olympic and world records in the event.

In 1934, Towns won the Southeastern AAU 120-yard hurdles in 15.1 seconds. The following year he won the SEC, NCAA and National AAU titles. In Berlin, Towns won the gold medal in the 120-yard hurdles with a record time of 14.1 seconds. Two weeks later in Oslo, he set a world record of 13.7 seconds (record stood for 14 years).

During his prime from 1935-37, Towns won more than 60 races in a row in one of the most difficult athletic events. He also held the world record in the indoor 60-yard hurdles (7.3). Towns was named to the All-America Outdoor Track and Field Team in 1936 and 1937 and the All-America Indoor Track and Field Team in 1938. He led Georgia to the 1937 SEC team championship (the only one in

While he was coach, his pupils won 21 individual SEC outdoor titles and five individual SEC indoor Towns, who is the sixth person from the left standing, and his 1936 titles.

Georgia Track and Field History

T

The Beginning

rack and field is one of the oldest sports at the University of Georgia, first competing intercollegiately in 1897, five years after the inaugural football unit began play and just one year after the first baseball team took to the diamond.

Interest in track and field at UGA began in the late 1800s with the annual intramural field days. At the request of Nash Broyles and Thomas Reed, the Athletic Association set up the first track and field contest in school history on May 28, 1887.

A subsequent field day was added a day later. Many of the events of that weekend would be foreign to a meet held today as wrestling matches, the baseball throw, tugs of war and the greased pig chase provided the entertainment in the 19th Billy David won UGA’s century. first-ever SEC title in After 10 years 1933 in the high jump. of field days, the University participated in its first intercollegiate track contest at the 1897 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association meet in Nashville, Tenn., where Georgia accumulated 13 points to secure a fourth-place finish out of 14 teams.

The school’s first dual meet came a year later against Georgia Tech with UGA taking a 75-30 victory.

Regarded as track and field pioneers in the state of Georgia, The Atlanta Constitution noted in a May 26, 1894 article that “the University was much further along with their track program than any other state school.”

Coaches

In June 2021 following the NCAA Outdoor Championships, Caryl Smith Gilbert was named the 15th head coach of the Bulldog program. She also became the first female Georgia coach to lead a men’s team in school history. A two-time National Coach of the Year while earning a pair of NCAA team titles at USC prior to her arrival in Athens, Smith

With interest in track and field waning, 16 top-10 national team finishes, including 13 the sport was revived by Herman J. Stegeman, top-five finishes. A UGA assistant from 2008a star at the University of Chicago who 14 after arriving from Boise State, Kyprianou developed track and field into a popular sport was named the team’s associate head coach at Georgia.

Stegeman led UGA for 17 years in 2014 before his promotion to head coach. and built one of the strongest teams in the During a stretch from 2014-21, his crew was South during his tenure.

One of the Commissioner’s Trophys captured by the Lady Bulldogs was in 1999 as Debbie Ferguson won the award and a total of nine have been claimed by the Georgia women. Ferguson scored 23.5 points at the outdoor championships to lead the Georgia women to a fourth place finish. Icolyn Kelly won it twice in 1995 thanks to her diverse talents. Kelly had 23 points in the indoor championships, but her 32.5 points outdoors led Georgia to its first ever women’s team crown. Kelly’s score of 32.5 points would have beaten five of the 11 teams competing. Kelly won the triple jump, took second in the long jump, fourth in the high jump, fourth in the javelin throw and fourth in the seven-event heptathlon. Kelly’s marks in the SEC meet were all season bests. Hyleas Fountain also earned double honors in 2004. Her 44 points at the SEC Indoor meet was a conference all-time points record. She also racked up 34.50 points at the outdoor meet to take home the trophy.

Debbie Ferguson and Mel Lattany were two of the most prolific sprinters in Georgia track and field history.

Facilities

Five different facilities have housed Georgia’s track and field teams. Herty Field, named for Dr. Charles Herty, was the first and was also shared by the football and baseball. With the construction of Sanford Field and a track around it, the team was able to relocate for another 17 years.

A new field with the same name was later constructed just 200 yards from the original Sanford Field. The second incarnation was used until World War II when the U.S. Navy came to Athens. The Navy completed a new track, described as a “million-dollar facility”, and gave it to UGA. In 1965, the track and field team found a permanent home on the southwestern corner of the athletic complex. The facility was renamed for Forrest “Spec” Towns in a dedication ceremony held during the 1990 SEC Outdoor Championships in Athens. Towns passed away a year later, but a granite marker honoring him stands at the southeast entrance to the facility he helped make possible.

SEC Commissioner’s Trophy

The SEC Commissioner’s Trophy is given annually to the male and female athletes who tally the most points at the SEC meets.

Denzel Comenentia won the last two trophies for UGA at the 201819 SEC Outdoor Championships. In 2019, he won his third straight league shot put crown and was second in both the hammer throw and discus to score 26 points.

Before Comenentnia, the Bulldogs most recent honorees were Patricia Sylvester and Ian Burrell. Sylvester won both the triple jump and the long jump and was the runner-up in the high jump at the 2006 SEC Outdoor Championships to rack up 28 points as her team captured the championship. She returned to score a whopping 26 points at the 2007 SEC indoor meet and was given the honor again.

Burrell, standing at 5-foot-5, captured both the 3000- and 5000-meter titles on the men’s side at the 2007 SEC Outdoor Championships to pile up 20 points.

Since 1933, Georgia has had 21 high-point performers, including Graham Batchelor in 1933 and ’34, Towns in 1937, Vassa Cate in 1939, and Lewis Gainey, who tied for the outdoors honors in 1965. Mel Lattany, however, had the most points ever by a Bulldog with 108.5 in four years, including 22.5 in 1981 when he won both the indoor Denzel Comenentia not only won back-to-back Commissioner’s Trophies, but his heroics also enabled to the Bulldogs to clinch their first NCAA and outdoor awards. Lester Benjamin took the long and triple jump team title at the 2018 outdoor Nationals. titles at the 1984 outdoor meet to win the trophy with 27.5 points.

Track and field has produced some of the most memorable moments in Olympic history. The state of Georgia witnessed many such moments when the 1996 Centennial Olympics were held in Atlanta and surrounding cities, including Athens.

Bulldog track and field was again well represented at the 2021 Games, with a programrecord 15 team members or alumni (seven men, eight women) participating in the Olympics.

The Bulldogs captured four medals in the COVID-delayed 2021 Tokyo Olympics, bringing UGA’s total to 17. Shaunae Miller-Uibo (Bahamas) won her second straight gold medal in the 400m, and Lynna Irby and Elija Godwin took home bronze in the mixed 4x400m relay for Team USA. Irby also captured gold as part of the women’s 4x400m relay team.

Shaunae Miller-Uibo helped shoot Georgia’s all-time medal total to 17, defending her Olympic gold in the 400-meter dash. The former Bulldog and 2016 Rio Olympics gold medalist etched her name into the record books in Tokyo by becoming the second woman to win two Olympic gold medals in the 400-meter dash.

Miller finised within 0.11 of the Olympic record, running a blistering 48.36 to set a Bahamian national record. Already with an edge coming out of the second turn, she took off in the final 100m to claim victory by nearly a second. Miller’s time ranks sixth on the world’s all-time list.

While at UGA in 2013, Miller clocked what keeps her the No. 18 all-time indoor 400m performer (50.88) in collegiate track and field to capture the NCAA indoor title in the event. She went on to set Georgia’s then-outdoor record in the 400m (50.77) and earned an NCAA runner-up finish for another All-America honor.

J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics & UGA President J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Josh Brooks – 2023 Sports Business Journal Athletic Director of the Year finalist – has led the University of Georgia Athletic Association through historic success.

Georgia finished seventh in the 2023 LEARFIELD Directors’ Cup, the Association’s best mark since 2005 and tying for the fourth-highest ranking in program history. Seventeen of the Bulldogs’ athletic programs finished with a top-20 ranking, while nine ended the year in the top 10.

The Bulldogs became the first program to earn back-to-back College Football Playoff National Championships, while three of Georgia’s athletic teams won SEC titles and five athletes won NCAA individual crowns during the 2022-23 athletics season.

Among notable achievements, the women’s soccer and volleyball programs made history as both teams earned bids to their respective NCAA tournaments in the same year for the first time ever. Georgia’s track and field programs finished with four top-10 rankings in the indoor and outdoor championships, both men’s and women’s tennis captured SEC championships, softball finished with a second-place mark in the conference and both golf programs swept team and individual titles at their respective NCAA regionals.

The Bulldogs also posted a record-breaking academic year, setting a new school-high mark with a 3.19 cumulative GPA in 2022-23, breaking the fall GPA record before earning the second-highest spring GPA in school history.

From academic and athletic success to historic fundraising and a multitude of facility projects, Brooks has continued to sustain Georgia’s standing as a national powerhouse. The Georgia Bulldog Club set new fundraising records in each of the last two years with $86.4 million raised in 2022 and $97.7 million in 2023.

Brooks has overseen substantial facility upgrades that include the brandnew Lindsey Hopkins Indoor Tennis Courts, improvements to the south side of Sanford Stadium, a $45 million renovation to Foley Field, a $38 million upgrade to the Jack Turner Softball Stadium, a new $1.8 million men’s and women’s basketball weight room as well as expansive updates to Stegeman Coliseum and a renovation project in the Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall.

Georgia also built a new, state-of-the-art track and field locker room and recently announced plans to construct a one-of-a-kind track facility off South Milledge Avenue. This project will include the only indoor track and field venue in the state of Georgia and will allow the Bulldogs to host NCAA and SEC events as well as summer camps.

Brooks’ tenure has also included impactful and significant coaching hires, with a pair of national champions in track and field’s Caryl Smith Gilbert and soccer’s Keidane McAlpine. In 2021, he hired Tony Baldwin to take over the softball program, while Stefanie Williams Moreno and Neil Versfeld were named head women’s and men’s swimming and diving coaches.

He also hired two prominent coaches to lead the Georgia Basketball programs in Mike White and Katie Abrahamson-Henderson. Following the 2022-23 baseball season, Brooks brought on renowned pitching coach Wes Johnson to lead Georgia Baseball.

A native of Hammond, La., Brooks’ vision of competing for championships and postseason success and his passion for student-athletes began well before his time as Athletic Director.

Before returning to UGA in 2016 as Executive Associate Director of Athletics, Brooks served as Deputy Athletics Director at the University of ULM from 2015-16 and Director of Athletics at Millsaps College from 2014-15. He also served in capacities as Director of Football Operations (2008-11) and Assistant and Associate Athletic Director for Internal Operations (2012-14) in his previous stint at UGA. Brooks also served as director of football operations at the University of ULM beginning in 2004. He gained experience as a student at LSU University, working as an equipment manager and a student assistant coach. During his four years at LSU, the Tigers participated in the 2000 Peach Bowl, 2002 Sugar Bowl, and won the 2001 Southeastern Conference championship.

Brooks graduated from LSU (’02) with a degree in Kinesiology and completed his master’s degree in Sport Management from UGA (‘14). He and his wife, Lillie, have twin sons, Jackson and James, born in July of 2009 and a third son, Davis, born in March of 2012.

He and his wife Lillie have become a vital part of the Athens community.

On January 20, 2021, just two weeks after becoming Athletic Director, Brooks pledged $100,000 to create a need-based scholarship to support UGA students from Athens-Clarke County. His gift created a Georgia Commitment Scholarship (GCS), adding to the more than 550 endowed, need-based scholarships created under the GCS program since its launch in January 2017.

President Jere W. Morehead began his tenure as the 22nd University of Georgia President on July 1, 2013. Under his leadership, UGA has risen in the rankings of the best public colleges and universities and has completed a series of initiatives to enhance student learning and success, including a requirement for experiential learning for all undergraduates.

Additionally during President Morehead’s tenure, the University completed the most successful capital campaign in its history and established the UGA Innovation District, through which students and faculty partner with industry leaders to create products and enterprises that strengthen Georgia’s economy. UGA has increased its research expenditures by more than 50% over the past decade and has been ranked first or second in the U.S. for research-based products reaching the marketplace for the past seven years.

In keeping with his focus on student success, President Morehead launched the ALL Georgia program to support students from rural areas and created the Double Dawgs program, which enables students to save time and money by earning an undergraduate and graduate degree in five years or less. Demand for a UGA education has more than doubled during the past decade, with a record 43,000 applications submitted for a spot in the incoming Class of 2027.

President Morehead has served the University of Georgia for more than 35 years in both faculty and administrative roles. Before becoming President, he was Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost from 2010 to 2013. Prior to 2010, he held several key administrative assignments, including Vice President for Instruction, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs, Associate Provost and Director of the Honors Program, and acting Executive Director of Legal Affairs.

He is the Meigs Professor of Legal Studies in the Terry College of Business, where he has held a faculty appointment since 1986. He is a co-author of several books and book chapters, including The Legal and Regulatory Environment of Business, and he has published scholarly articles on legal topics ranging from export controls to jury selection. He has served as Editor-in-Chief of the American Business Law Journal.

President Morehead currently serves as Co-Chair of the University Leadership Forum, a national initiative led by the Council on Competitiveness. Additional service includes membership on the boards of the Georgia Research Alliance, Georgia Chamber of Commerce, Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education, Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, and Emory University Candler School of Theology.

He is Chair of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Board of Directors and a member of the NCAA Division I Administrative Committee.

He previously served as President of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and Chair of the SEC Executive Committee and as a member of the NCAA’s Board of Governors; Presidential Forum; Working Group on Name, Image, and Likeness; and Federal and State Legislation Working Group. He also is a member of the National Football Foundation Board of Trustees.

In 2021, he received the Chief Executive Leadership Award from the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education District III for outstanding leadership and service in support of education. He has received several University-wide teaching awards, including the Josiah Meigs Award—UGA’s highest honor for teaching excellence, the Richard B. Russell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching, the Teacher of the Year Award in the Terry College of Business, and the Lothar Tresp Outstanding Honors Professor Award. He also earned the UGA School of Law’s premier honor for alumni, the Distinguished Service Scroll Award.

President Morehead holds a bachelor’s degree from Georgia State University and a law degree from the University of Georgia.
