Head Coach Wayne Norton’s Thoughts On The 2014 Season For The Bulldogs: “Not much has changed for us as we enter the 2014 season because the competition is better than it has ever been within the SEC. The conference has grown from 10 to 12 and now to 14 teams without a dilution of talent. We have gotten better but so has the conference. The best thing we have going for us in 2014 is that most of our men’s roster had the opportunity last year to become acclimated to the SEC and NCAA’s competitive environments. That ‘experience’ should help us to be a top 10 NCAA team before the season is over.”

Scantling’s training partner, Maicel Uibo, won Georgia’s first SEC decathlon championship since 2002 last season. The Estonia native shattered the school record following his 10 events at the Bulldog Decathlon in Athens by scoring 8,223 points. Uibo finished as a First Team AllAmerican following both the indoor season as a heptathlete (fourth) and the outdoor season as a decathlete (fifth).

Thoughts From Coach Norton On 2014:
“Continuing to improve is the course of action for the women in 2014. The coaches and athletes are determined to make this season better than last. We will need to be just as healthy as we are talented in order to make the improvements that we are capable of. Our sport is one that goes much, much better with good health, conditioning and fitness. We fully expect another good year.” ^L. Ondraschkova, Pentathlon, 2nd, 4208 &S. Miller, 400m, 3rd, !52.21 M.

Head Coach Wayne Norton EDUCATION • B.A. in Broadcast Production, Howard, 1981 • M.A. in Journalism, Indiana, 1987
ATHLETIC EXPERIENCE • 1978-81 Howard Track
2006 SEC Indoor/Outdoor Women’s Coach of the Year 2006 USTFCCCA South District Women’s Coach of the Year 2007 USTFCCCA South District Women’s Coach of the Year Wayne Norton begins his 15th year as the Georgia head track and field coach and his 24th year overall with the program. Norton has compiled an extremely impressive resumé, as he has been a major part of the most successful period in Georgia track and field history. In 2013, his teams had three top-25 national finishes, including two in the top 11, and two NCAA individual titles as freshmen Shaunae Miller (indoor 400-meter dash) and Freya Jones (javelin) brought hardware back to Athens. In Norton’s 14 years as head coach, Georgia has won 20 individual national titles, earned 166 All-America certificates, captured 99 SEC individual titles and the men’s and women’s teams have achieved a total of 26 top-25 NCAA finishes. Over the last eight years, Norton and his coaching staff further established Georgia’s program as one of the nation’s elite programs. The Lady Bulldogs claimed both the SEC indoor and outdoor titles in 2006, finished with seven NCAA individual crowns and five top-10 team finishes at the NCAA Championships during that span. Georgia also combined to rack up 49 SEC individual crowns during the last eight seasons. UGA claimed its first NCAA men’s javelin title in 2008 before Chris Hill, who went on to win the 2009 USA Championships, was able to accomplish the feat yet again in 2009. Another first for the Bulldog men came as Torrin Lawrence sprinted to Georgia’s first national championship in the 400m at the 2010 NCAA Indoor Championships. Lawrence completed his career as a seven-time All-American and threetime SEC champion. In the field, Nikola Lomnicka captured the third NCAA women’s hammer throw crown for the Lady Bulldogs in five years in 2010 before finishing third at the 2011 NCAA Championships. Lomnicka concluded her career in 2012 with her third consecutive First Team All-America certificate in the hammer and three SEC championships. Norton came to Georgia in 1990 and has been instrumental in guiding the UGA men to five outdoor top-10 NCAA finishes, 12 outdoor top-20 finishes, two indoor top-10 finishes and six indoor top-20 finishes. He has also been a key factor in the development of a nationally competitive women’s team. In the 1995 season, Georgia won its first ever SEC Outdoor Championship in the history of the women’s program. In 1996,

the Lady Bulldogs claimed their highest NCAA finish in school history as they finished second at NCAA Indoors. Over the course of the last 14 seasons, the women’s team has captured seven outdoor top-20 finishes and six indoor top-15 finishes. The Georgia women scored more than 100 points (108) at the 2012 SEC Outdoor Championships and posted their eighth top25 finish at the NCAA outdoor meet during Norton’s tenure. In his time at Georgia, the cross country team has also thrived. Prior to the 1990s, the women’s team had never gone to the NCAA Championships, but that changed in 1990 when they made their first ever trip to the NCAAs. Georgia would get back to nationals in 1991, 1997, 2004-07 and 2011-2012. The 2013 campaign saw the Bulldog men make their third straight trip to Nationals. Both Georgia distance teams qualified for the national meet in 2012, with the UGA men grabbing their top NCAA finish in history (19th). In 2011, the Georgia men advanced to the NCAA cross meet for the first time since 2004 and had the top SEC team finish. The Bulldogs won the South Regional in 2003 to advance to their first NCAA meet. They then returned to the nationals in 2004, which marked the first time in school history that both the men’s and women’s cross country teams competed simultaneously at the NCAA meet. In 2006, the Lady Bulldog cross country team grabbed their first South Regional title and took 15th at the NCAA Championships. The Georgia women, who saw Natalie Picchetti earn All-American honors, returned to the NCAA meet for the fourth consecutive time in 2007 after Sarah Madebach won the school’s first SEC individual title. Kristie Krueger added another All-America certificate for the Lady Bulldog XC crew in 2010 after winning her own SEC crown.
n i v e r s i t y
Norton, who began coaching in 1981 as a graduate assistant at Indiana, has had success at all three of the schools where he has coached. While at Indiana from 1981-85, the Hoosiers won three Big Ten Indoor Championships and an outdoor Big Ten Championship. Before coming to Athens, Norton served as an assistant coach at Northern Arizona University from 1985-89. He coached NAU’s jumpers and sprinters (a group which featured NFL speedsters Mike Haynes, David Lang and Shawn Collins), while serving as an instructor in both physical education and journalism. During his tenure at Northern Arizona, the program had a very successful five-year period. Out of the Big Sky Conference, Northern Arizona won four men’s conference championships, three women’s indoor conference championships, two outdoor women’s championships, seven cross country championships. While at Georgia, he has produced a steady stream of AllAmerican jumpers, including 2008 and 2012 Olympian Levern Spencer and 2008 Olympian Patricia Sylvester. Norton was instrumental in 2006 with the pair listed above racking up four All-American certificates and four SEC individual titles. The Lady Bulldogs won a pair of SEC jump titles in 2013 and collected five All-America certificates. In 1995, Georgia’s jumpers enjoyed one of their best seasons ever, registering another five All-America awards while winning three SEC crowns, thanks to the efforts of Thad Hood, Icolyn Kelly, Reeta Laaksonen and Dillon Phelps. Laaksonen and Phelps added more such honors in 1996 and Sylvester came away with her first conference title in 2005. Norton has also guided other nationally-renowned jumpers including Celly Martinez, Latifah Long, Krysha Bayley, Volker Mai, Hyleas Fountain, Ryan Sheppard, Patrick Thavelin, Wolfgang Kreissig, Marcus Bailey, Tasha Mahone and Antonio Saunders. At the 2012 Olympics in London, former Bulldog thrower Reese Hoffa gave Georgia’s track and field program its 12th medal after earning a bronze in the shot put. During the 2008 Games in Beijing, Hyleas Fountain claimed a silver medal in the heptathlon after competing for Norton and the Lady Bulldogs in 2003-04. Norton, a New Jersey native, received his Bachelor’s degree in broadcast production from Howard University in 1981. During his time as a graduate assistant coach at Indiana from 1981-85, he worked on his Master’s in journalism and earned the degree in 1987. Norton and his wife Priscilla have four children: son Christian and daughters LaShawna, Jasmine and Erica. Norton also has a son-in-law after Andre Wilson married his daughter LaShawna. The couple has a son named Isaiah.

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 18th year in red and black, Don Babbitt has transformed the Georgia throws program into arguably the most talented group in the country. The trend became even more evident as the native of Santa Monica, Calif., led freshman Freya Jones to the NCAA javelin title and four other throwers to All-America honors for Georgia during 2013. Seven NCAA titles, 26 All-American honors and 16 SEC crowns during the past eight seasons further solidified Babbitt’s hold as one of the premier throws coaches in the track and field world. The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) recognized his outstanding contributions following the 2009 season and named him the East Region Men’s Coach of the Year. Under Babbitt’s guidance since 1996, Georgia’s throwers have reached a high level of success including 12 NCAA titles, 68 All-American certificates and 45 SEC titles. Jones launched a personal-best javelin mark of 180 ft., 3 in. in the most important meet of the 2013 season for the Bulldogs to give the UGA women its third national championship in the event. At the conference level last year, Babbitt advised first-year Lady Bulldog Elizabeth Tepe as she reached a personal best (203 ft., 4 in.) to win the hammer at SECs while Hilenn James captured the league’s indoor shot put title. 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 in the last seven years. 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 83.87 meters (275 ft., 2 in.). This mark established a new NCAA American collegiate record. In 2007, Jenny Dahlgren finished her Bulldog career with three NCAA titles, eight All-American certificates and four SEC titles while shattering school, SEC, collegiate, NCAA Championship and South American records in the hammer throw under Babbitt’s guidance. Babbitt, a former UCLA Bruin, 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. Eleven seasons ago, Babbitt guided Lucais MacKay to All-America honors in the weight, hammer and discus as MacKay became a six-time All-America thrower while at UGA. He also coached MacKay to an NCAA title in the hammer throw and led Panagiotis Mavraganis to AllAmerica honors in the weight throw as well as SEC titles in the weight and hammer throws in 2003. In 2003, Babbitt was named National Assistant Coach of the Year in the men’s throws category by the U.S. Track and Field Coaches Association. He was also later named the USTFCCCA East Region Women’s Throws Coach of the Year in 2007. Babbitt has coached 46 throwers who have competed in the Olympic Games and/or World Championships and that group has won nine medals, and 15 top-5 finishes. These include 2005 World Outdoor shot

put champion Adam Nelson, who also the 2004 Olympic champion, and 2006 World Indoor champion & 2007 World Outdoor shot put champion Reese Hoffa. Babbitt is has also served as he personal coach of eighttime U.S. Champion and current American record holder Breaux Greer (javelin), as well as Canadian record holder Jason Tunks (discus) and three-time Canadian Olympian Brad Snyder (shot put). In addition, Babbitt has been the long-time coach Andras Haklits, the three-time Croatian Olympian and hammer record holder, who finished eighth in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and seventh in the hammer at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, Germany. 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 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. An avid writer and clinician, Babbitt has written over 50 articles and three book chapters for publications on five continents and in five different languages He has spoken on the throws at clinics in 14 states. Internationally, he has conducted clinics and seminars on six different continents and also hosts the annual Throws Clinic at the University of Georgia, which has attracted 781 coaches from 14 different states and three different countries over the past 14 editions. Babbitt has served the Throws Editor for the IAAF Coaches Education Program and an IAAF Level V Lecturer for the IAAF Throws Academy Courses since 2009. Most recently, Babbitt produced and taught the throws curriculum for the new USTFCCCA Coaching Academy which was established in 2011, and has contributed to the development of the UK Athletics Coaching Education Curriculum for the heavy throws (shot, discus, hammer). Babbitt is also an NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and designed strength and conditioning programs for Cal State-Los Angeles’ basketball, soccer and track and field teams. He also served as assistant manager and throws coach for the U.S. men’s track and field team at the 1997 World University Games in Italy. He has also been a national team coach for Canada, Croatia and Argentina in various major international championships. While at UCLA, Babbitt competed in the javelin throw for the Bruins, placing seventh at the 1988 Pac-10 Outdoor Championships. Babbitt is married to the former Petra Juraskova. They have two daughters, Julia (15), and Veronika (7).

Pole Vault/Jumps Multis 2008 USTFCCCA Indoor West Regional Men’s Assistant Coach of the Year
Petros Kyprianou enters his sixth season as an assistant track and field coach at the University of Georgia after coaching for three years at Boise State University. Kyprianou, a native of Limassol, Cyprus/Greece, coaches pole vault, jumps, decathlon and heptathlon. Kyprianou has made a tremendous impact on the Bulldog program during his five years in Athens. The 2013 indoor and outdoor seasons were busy for Kyprianou as he had three Southeastern Conference champions and six NCAA First Team All-Americans while also leading his decathletes to a prestigious national honor. The Bulldogs decathlon corps finished second overall in the annual race for the Bill Webb Cup (nation’s top decathlon program), which Georgia won in 2011 in the two-, three- and four-man categories. A month before the 2013 indoor season began, Kyprianou also presented at the 2012 USTFCCCA Convention on “Mechanical Advantages in the Weight Room”. In addition, Kyprianou guided Ryan Grinnel, an athlete of his while coaching at Boise State, to a third-place finish at the USATF Championships. Grinnel earned a spot on Team USA after jumping 17.02m. A week later, he set a new personal best of 17.22m at a USATF sanctioned meet at he University of Chicago. Grinnel lives in Athens and is still coached by Kyprianou. The 2012 campaign saw five of his student-athletes advance to the NCAA Championships and bring four All-America certificates home. Leleux captured a pair of those honors after finishing second in the pole vault at both the NCAA indoor and outdoor meets while also winning the SEC outdoor title over the collegiate record holder in the event with a school record mark (14 ft., 6 ¾ in.). For her success, Leleux was named the SEC Women’s Freshman Field Athlete of the Year and the USTFCCCA South Region Women’s Athlete of the Year following the season. Leleux’s teammate, triple jumper Colleen Felix, also grabbed her second consecutive SEC indoor title in the triple jump during her final year with the Lady Bulldogs. In 2011, Kyprianou guided eight Georgia team members to the Nationals as the Lady Bulldogs swept the triple jump at the SEC Indoor and Outdoor Championships. He had four All-Americans during the 2011 seasons. Six of Kyprianou’s student-athletes qualified for the 2010 NCAA Championships. His crew has accounted for 62 new or improved spots in the indoor and outdoor school record books and has recorded eight SEC titles and five school records. Kyprianou led his group to score a combined 46 points at the 2011 and then again at the 2012 SEC Outdoor Championships. Internationally, Kyprianou had Tommy Barrineau compete at the 2011 European Cup and World University Games in the multi-events and he led Shakeema Welsch to an indoor USATF triple jump title. In fact, Kyprianou had four different athletes qualify for four different 2010 national teams. Kyprianou has also developed Georgia into a “decathlon/heptathlon powerhouse” of sorts in his short tenure. Cory Holman exploded for a school record score of 5,873 points in the heptathlon to take sixth and earn an All-America certificate at the 2012 NCAA Indoor Championships. A year earlier, All-American Michael Ayers scored 7,903 points to finish sixth in the decathlon at the 2011 NCAA Championships as Georgia joined Texas as the only schools having two decathletes at the national meet. In the pole vault, Caleb Ebbets took off for a personal-best mark of 17 feet, 5 ½ inches in 2012 to complement Leleux’s immense success in the event. A variety of athletes whom Kyprianou trained showed significant improvements and posted a series of personal-best marks in 2012. Scantling tallied the fifth-best effort in school history in the decathlon (7,434) and four Bulldog pole vaulters from the 2012 indoor season each have a spot on the current all-time top-10 list. Scantling continued his success after his first outdoor collegiate season by qualifying for the 2012 World Junior Championships after taking a silver medal at the USA Junior Championships in Indiana. Following the 2012 season, former Lady Bulldog Kat Majester finished fifth in the pole vault at the 2012 Olympic Trials, narrowly missing a berth to the Olympic Games in London. Kyprianou has steered Majester, who is still new to the sport, to a current personal-best height of 14-5.25. In 2010, Barrineau shattered his own school record in the heptathlon twice to capture an SEC title in the event - a first for the Bulldog men in the history of the program. Also two years ago, Holman, competing in the multi-events for the first time, set an SEC Championships record in the high jump (7 feet, 1 ¾ inches) and finished third at the league meet. Other individual highlights under Kyprianou’s watch included Ondraschkova advancing to the 2010 NCAA Outdoor Championships as a freshman before having a personal-best score of 3,995 points in the pentathlon to take second at the 2011 SEC Indoors; Majester shooting from 12-8 to 13-11.25 in the pole vault and advancing to both NCAA meets; John Smith soaring

to a one-foot PR of 17-1 and earning runner-up honors at 2010 SEC Outdoor Championships; and Aaron LaGarde reaching new heights in both the long jump (25-5.25) and the triple jump (52-7.50), and also qualifying for the 2010 USA Championships. On the professional circuit, Kyprianou serves as the strength coach for high jumper and former Lady Bulldog Levern Spencer, who has a PR of 6-6, and Welsch, who is a four-time USA women’s triple jump champion with a best of 46-11. Kyprianou also served as a guest speaker at the High Performance Congress in Cyprus, Greece, in December 2009. He was also a jumps clinician at the Florida High School Coaches Association. Kyprianou’s latest article printed in the magazine `Techniques’ was featured in two different languages and highlighted some of Kyprianou’s methods of developing athletes. He has written numerous technical articles for several track and field publications including the USTFCCCA magazine “Techniques” and the Estonian site “Decathlon2000.” In his inaugural season with the Bulldogs, Kyprianou helped Barrineau break his own school record in the heptathlon. Kyprianou also saw two of his heptathletes score at the SEC Championships before having a pair tally points for the Bulldogs at the outdoor conference meet. A pair of pole vaulters also experienced immense success under Kyprianou’s guidance in 2009. Adam Sarafian advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Championships, clearing 17-2.75, and took fourth at the NCAA East Regional. In her final year of competition, Julianne Toto exploded for an enormous personal-best mark of 13-5.25 to advance to the East Regional. Kyprianou, the 2008 USTFCCCA Indoor West Regional Assistant Coach of the Year, had a significant impact on the Boise State program before arriving in Athens, guiding numerous men and women to Western Athletic Conference Championships and NCAA Championship All-American honors. During his three-year stint at Boise State, Kyprianou guided Bronco student-athletes to 21 individual WAC Championships, four All-American honors, 10 school records and two WAC records. He also helped the men’s team to indoor (2006, 2007) and outdoor (2006, 2008) WAC league titles. The rest of his 21 WAC champions and NCAA qualifiers came from Eleni Kafourou in the long jump and triple jump. Kyprianou helped Kafourou improve in both events and break her personal bests in both jumps while winning eight WAC championships and being the runner-up at the NCAA West Regionals. Kafourou also was named the WAC freshman of the year during the indoor and outdoor conference meet in 2006. In 2008, Kafourou was awarded the WAC Outstanding Field Performer in both the indoor and outdoor championships. Prior to arriving on the Boise State campus, Kyprianou spent the previous two seasons as an assistant track and field coach at the University of Nebraska, Omaha and was in charge of the field events. While at UNO, he guided two student-athletes to five All-American performances at the NCAA Division II National Championships. While competing in track and field, Kyprianou won several Cyprus and Greek Championships from 1991 to 1999. They included the decathlon, pole vault, 110 hurdles and long jump. He has won several awards during his career which include being named the 2008 Indoor West Region coach of the Year, the Most Improved Coach Award from Cyprus in 2002, the Cyprus Athlete of the Year Award in 1999, an award from the Cyprus Soccer Association for the “Best Fitness Team” in 2003 and the Track and Field Coaching Specialty Academic Award from Greece in 2001. Kyprianou has also made his mark in the weight lifting world. He set the Idaho record for Olympic weightlifting after lifting 567 lbs. at the 85kg class in October 2007. Kyprianou received his Bachelor of Science degree in physical education in June of 2001 from Aristotle University in Greece. He completed his Master of Science degree in Exercise Science/Biomechanics from the University of Nebraska in 2006. Kyprianou is a certified level III coach in the jumps, a level I and II USA Track and Field certified coach in the combined events, a certified strength and conditioning specialist and a certified USA weightlifting sports performance coach. Kyprianou and his wife Masa welcomed their first child, Alexander, in 2008 and their second, Stefan, in 2009.

Men’s Sprints/ Hurdles
Jon Stuart with his wife Gail and sons Jake and Scot. Stuart was named the 2012 USTFCCCA South Region Men’s Assistant Coach of the Year last season.
COACHING EXPERIENCE • 1993-94, Graduate Assistant, Georgia • 1994-95, Head Track and Field Coach, East Paulding HS • 1995-98, Assistant Coach, Texas-Arlington • 1998-99, Head Track and Field Coach, Louisiana-Monroe • 1999-Present, Assistant Coach, Georgia
2012 USTFCCCA South Region Men’s Assistant Coach of the Year Jon Stuart, a 1992 graduate of Georgia, enters his 15th year directing Georgia men’s sprinters and hurdlers. Under his guidance during the last seven seasons, the Bulldog sprinters/hurdlers have tallied six Southeastern Conference individual titles, an impressive 20 All-American certificates and one NCAA title. Stuart was named the 2012 USTFCCCA South Region Men’s Assistant Coach of the Year following yet another stellar campaign. The 2013 season saw newcomer Johnathan Smith clock a 10.20 100-meter dash time and advance to the NCAA Championships in an event that routinely features times that are competitive worldwide. Sophomore Drew Branch also advanced to the 2013 outdoor Nationals after clocking a 50.60 in the 400 hurdles. This adds Branch to a long list of talented and accomplished 400 hurdlers under Stuart, including three-time SEC champion and six-time All-American Justin Gaymon and three-time All-American LaRon Bennett. In 2012, Stuart, a former Bulldog sprinter himself, guided his 4x400 relay team to both the NCAA indoor and outdoor meets and his 4x100 team to the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Seven-time All-American and three-time SEC champion Torrin Lawrence also earned All-America certificates in the 400 at both indoor and outdoor Nationals in 2012 after capturing the 2010 NCAA indoor title in the event. Lawrence was named the USTFCCCA South Region Men’s Track Athlete of the Year for his efforts for the third time in his career. He officially ended his UGA career by shooting to No. 2 in the school record books with his 45.40 at the 2012 Olympic Trials semifinals. Stuart’s sprinters and hurdles set 20 fresh marks in the Bulldog indoor and outdoor all-time top-10 lists during the 2012-13 seasons. Stuart qualified his 4x100 team, 4x400 relay team, Lawrence in the 400 and Phillip Adams in the 400 hurdles, who clocked a 51.12 at the NCAA East Prelims, for the 2011 NCAA Outdoor Championships after altering the school record books in three of the four events during the season. Prior to competing outdoors, Lawrence earned runner-up honors at the 2011 NCAA indoor meet after completing his 400 in 45.96. In just his second season under Stuart’s tutelage in 2010, the electrifying Lawrence won an NCAA title, an SEC title and was named the 2010 USTFCCCA National Male Track Athlete of the Year. He clocked the third-fastest 400 collegiate indoor time in history (45.03) followed with an SEC meet record time of 45.10 to clinch his conference crown. Stuart led New Jersey native Justin Gaymon, who completed his eligibility in 2009, to three SEC championships as well as six All-America certificates combined in the 400, 400 hurdles and 4x400 relay during his career. Gaymon finished atop Georgia’s all-time lists in the indoor 400 (45.94), 400 hurdles (48.46) and the indoor 4x400 relay (3:07.45). He also joined David Dickens, Brian Etelman and Michael Proctor as they clocked the second-best outdoor time in school history in the 4x400 relay at the 2007 NCAA Outdoor Championships to finish fifth (3:04.13) and earn All-American distinction. Thanks in part to Stuart’s crew, the Georgia have men nine top-20 NCAA finishes since 2000. Georgia sprinters have had an array of memorable experiences over the last number of seasons. In 2007, Stuart helped Dickens cap his career off in style as the Wheeler High School graduate broke the school’s indoor 400 record (46.27) at the SEC Championships. After Gaymon topped that indoor 400 time in 2008, Stuart guided Lawrence, then a freshman sensation, to the No. 2 spot on the all-time list after Lawrence crossed the finish line in 46.18 in 2009. Lawrence shattered the No. 1 mark in 2010. Lawrence, who hails from Jacksonville, Fla., set the school’s indoor 200 mark after opening the 2009 season with a 20.77 and a win at the Kentucky

Invitational. Stuart continued Lawrence’s development at the national meet as Lawrence earned All-American honors in the event. During the 2006 campaign, Stuart saw Dickens break the indoor 200 record (21.05) and earn All-American honors at the NCAA indoor meet. Dickens, who scored in four events at the SEC outdoor meet, joined Gaymon, who advanced to the semifinals at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 400 hurdles and moved to the then-No. 3 spot in the school record books in the event (50.20), as two of the top performers in the conference. In 2005, a pair of Bulldogs led another outstanding group of Georgia sprinters and hurdlers and showed why their program is one of the most highlyrespected programs in the nation. LaRon Bennett, who completed an outstanding career in Athens, and Demiko Goodman, who began his career at Georgia in an impressive fashion, were Georgia’s leaders throughout the season. While Bennett logged a career-best time in the 110 hurdles (13.86) in the early rounds of the SEC Championships and then took fifth in the 400 hurdles at the NCAA Championships, Goodman, a receiver for the Bulldog football team, finished in third place in the 400 (a career-best 46.23) in the NCAA Regional meet and placed 16th in the NCAA Championships in his only complete season at the collegiate ranks. In 2004, Stuart coached Bennett to a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championships and a seventh-place finish at the U.S. Olympic Trials. Bennett’s time in the 400 hurdles ranks him atop the Georgia all-time list. Stuart also guided the men’s 4x400 and 4x100 meter relay teams to the NCAA Championships for the first time since 1999 and 1987, respectively. The 4x100 meter relay team posted a season best time of 39.60 to place third at the East Region Championships while the 4x400 meter relay placed second with a season-leading mark of 3:06.23. It marked the first time in school history that both relays were represented at the NCAA Championships. Indoors, Stuart’s sprinters have continued to rewrite the Georgia record books with new marks in the 400 with Lawrence’s performance and 4x400 relay (Gaymon, Michael Proctor, Phillip Adams, Lawrence; 3:07.45). In all, Stuart’s sprinters sit atop the all-time lists in five different sprints. Stuart coached the women’s 1,600 meter relay teams that qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships from 2001-2003 and the 2000 team that qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships and set the school indoor mark. He also guided Ken Garrett to a school record and NCAA qualifying mark in the 400 meter hurdles in 2001. Prior to returning to Georgia, Stuart served as the head track and field coach at Northeast Louisiana University (now the University of Louisiana-Monroe). The Indians placed 16th on the men’s side at the 1999 NCAA men’s outdoor track and field championships under Stuart’s direction, producing three All-Americans as well as one national champion in Andras Haklits. Before his coaching stint at Louisiana-Monroe, Stuart led a nationally recognized sprint squad at the University of Texas-Arlington for three years. While at UTA, he helped produce 20 Southland Conference Champions and 11 NCAA Division I All-Americans. Stuart also helped the Mavericks capture nine Southland Conference team titles. Before his collegiate coaching career, Stuart was the head track coach at East Paulding High School in Dallas, Ga., where his athletes set 11 school records. Stuart started his coaching career as a graduate assistant for the Bulldogs under John Mitchell, from 1993-94. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Physical Education at Georgia in 1992 and his Master of Education in Physical Education in 1994. He married the former Gail Moreland in December 2002 and has two sons named Jake and Scot.

Patrick Cunniff joined the Bulldog staff in August 2012. He is guiding UGA’s distance program, coaching the cross country competitors in the fall and the rest of Georgia’s distance runners during the indoor and outdoor seasons. Cunniff wasted little time making his presence known across the Southeastern Conference and then the nation during the 2012 cross country season. The Bulldog men matched their best finish in history at the SEC Championships (second) before automatically qualifying for their second consecutive invite to the NCAA Championships thanks to a runner-up finish at the NCAA South Regionals. Georgia wrapped up its season by taking 19th at Nationals, marking the best finish in school history. In 2013, Cunniff was named the USTFCCCA South Region Men’s Coach of the Year as the Georgia men made their third consecutive trip to the NCAA Cross Country Championships for the first time in history. The Bulldogs assured their spot in Terre Haute, Ind., by winning their first NCAA South Regional championship since 2003. The Lady Bulldogs surged to their first trip to the NCAA meet since 2007 during Cunniff’s first year at the helm. The Georgia women answered the challenge at the South Regionals with a third-place finish, the team’s best showing in five years, to grab an at-large bid to Nationals. This marked the first time that both the Georgia men and women had advanced to the NCAA Championships during the same season since 2004 and only the second time in history. Cunniff concluded his first two cross seasons with 14 All-Region performers, including a school record eight in 2012, to go along with six runners who were on one of the All-SEC squads. Luke Baker wrapped up his conference career with a fourth-place finish. In his first track season with the Bulldogs, Cunniff led Carly Hamilton to an SEC outdoor crown in the 1500 meters and a First Team All-America certificate in the mile following her fourth-place finish. His runners established 31 improvements to Georgia’s all-time top-10 lists in the various distance events, including an astounding six school records. The Bulldog men and women completed their 2013 track seasons with a combined three NCAA top-20 team finishes for the first time since 2005. A native of North Kingstown, R.I., Cunniff came to UGA after serving five years as Long Beach State’s cross country and assistant track coach from 2007-12. His distance runners highlighted Cunniff’s final season with the 49ers by winning a conference individual championship in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track. Each one of these titles came with a school record performance at the respective conference meets. In addition to helping lead Long Beach to 2008 and 2011 Big West Conference men’s outdoor team championships, Cunniff put together an impressive resume with the 49ers. He watched his distance runners set school records 25 times, coached seven student-athletes to the NCAA Preliminary Round and led five to qualify for the NCAA Regionals. In the classroom, his runners earned CoSIDA All-Academic team honors from 2007-11. Cunniff guided Matt Maldonado to an Olympic Trials “A” Standard time of 3:37.68 in the 1500 meters and 3:59.08 in the mile to qualify for NCAA indoors, which marked the first sub-4:00 mile in school history. Maldonado went on to advance to the semifinals of the Trials. Another individual, Kip Kangogo, recorded two wins and a runner-up finish at the Canadian Nationals after being instructed by Cunniff.

Patrick Cunniff and his wife, Katie, have a daughter named Casidy. Cunniff returned to UGA in 2012 after running for the Bulldogs in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Cunniff also was responsible for administrative duties including all aspects of team travel for the 49ers. He also started the Pyramid 5k and assisted in numerous fund raising and community outreach events for Long Beach. Getting his collegiate coaching start in the state of Texas, Cunniff spend two years coaching at Texas Christian University (2004-06). Similar to his years at Long Beach, his resume was quickly filled with numerous accolades. Cunniff coached seven NCAA Division I Championship qualifiers (three cross country, one indoor track, three outdoor track), guided his team members to 12 individual conference championships and coached student-athletes who set school records four times. Cunniff directed the Horned Frogs to a runner-up finish at the 2004 Conference USA Championships and a fourth-place finish at the NCAA South Central Regional, highlighted by having the individual champion on the women’s side. He also assisted in coaching Jackson Langat to the 2006 NCAA indoor 800 crown. His cross country teams maintained a GPA over 3.0 during his tenure in Fort Worth. His first coaching stop came at the University of Texas as a volunteer assistant. During his time in Austin, Cunniff worked to help the Longhorns win the 2003 and 2004 Big XII Outdoor Championships as well as the 2003 South Central Regionals in cross country. Also in 2003, the Texas track team registered a second-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. On the Texas distance side, Cunniff, who has a USATF Level I Certification, coached Brian Rue to a personal-best 1:47.21 in the 800 and qualification to the 2004 Olympic Trials. His cross country team also maintained a GPA over 3.0. Transferring to Georgia from UNC-Charlotte, Cunniff competed for the Bulldogs from the 1988 cross country season to the 1991 track and field season. He became a regular contributor for Georgia’s cross country team and made his way into the school’s all-time top-10 list in the 10,000. Cunniff graduated in June 1991 with a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science. Cunniff and his wife, Katie, have a daughter named Casidy who was born in June 2011.
Cunniff directed the 2013 Georgia men’s cross country team to its school record third consecutive NCAA Championships while winning their second NCAA South Regional title.

Bahamas native George Cleare joined the Bulldog coaching staff prior to the 2011 season and is responsible for the women’s sprints, relays, jumps, hurdles and combined events. During his third season in red and black, Cleare directed freshman Shaunae Miller to the 2013 NCAA indoor title in the 400-meter dash. The fellow Bahamian also was the runner-up at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, clocked the fifth-fastest (50.88) and 10th-fastest (51.27) indoor 400m times in collegiate history and set school records in both the indoor and outdoor 400m in her one season with the Lady Bulldogs. Miller, who has since joined the professional ranks, also finished one spot shy of the podium at the 2013 IAAF World Championships after clocking a 200m time of 22.74 for fourth place. She became the youngest finalist for the 200m at the World Championships in history. Cleare, a native of Nassau, Bahamas, brings a wealth of international coaching experience to Georgia’s staff after having been the head coach for the Bahamas national team during the World Championships and also an assistant coach of the squad in the past. While Miller shined, Cleare’s crew also grabbed five other AllAmerican certificates and a pair of SEC championships and were key components to the Lady Bulldogs finishing in the top 11 at both the NCAA indoor and outdoor meets. High jumper Saniel AtkinsonGrier cleared six feet to win the SEC outdoor crown while freshman long jumper Chanice Porter twice reached 21 feet during the indoor season and finished first at the conference meet. In addition, Cleare guided sprinter Tynia Gaither to a 23.23 at the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Championships. In 2012, Cleare guided Atkinson-Grier to runner-up finishes at both the SEC indoor and outdoor meets as well as a First Team AllAmerica finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Atkinson-Grier helped the Lady Bulldogs score 108 points at the 2012 SEC Outdoor Championships, which is the third-best total in history and tops since Georgia’s 2006 conference championship. Atkinson then cleared a school record height of 6 ft., 2 ¼ in. at the Jamaican National Championships during the summer. Cleare was also instrumental in landing the Lady Bulldogs Track & Field News’ fourth-best recruiting class for 2013, the team’s best ranking of this sort in history. Bahamian sprinter and World Junior champion Shaunae Miller, Jamaican jumping phenom Chanice Porter and All-American Myasia Jacobs were three of the student-athletes Cleare led to Athens during the offseason. In his first season with Georgia, Cleare guided a pair of Lady Bulldog seniors to record four new or improved top-10 times in the Georgia record books. Outdoors, Georgina Nembhard clocked the fifth-fastest 200-meter dash time (23.40) in school history mid-way through the season while Odeika Bent recorded the school’s ninth-fastest mark (23.78) at the SEC meet. Bent also finished the league championship with the seventh-best 400 time in UGA history at 53.97. During the indoor campaign, Bent sped to the No. 5 time on the Lady Bulldog top-10 list in the 400 (54.57) at a “last chance” NCAA qualifying meet. Cleare’s corps also contributed to Georgia’s fourth-place finish at the SEC Outdoor Championships. Nembhard scored in the 100 at the 2011 league outdoor meet and she, along with Bent, was a leg on the Lady Bulldog foursome who also added a point in the 4x100 relay.

George Cleare guided true freshman Shaunae Miller to the 2013 NCAA indoor 400m championship as his fellow Bahamian finished her year with the No. 5 (50.88) and No. 10 (51.14) times on the collegiate indoor all-time top-10 list.
Cleare has also helped guide other standouts such as Bahamas native Debbie Ferguson, who was a four-time NCAA champion and 20-time All-American while attending Georgia in the late 1990s and who has competed in the last five Olympics, to notable finishes in top-level meets across the world. Most recently, Cleare has held leading posts in a variety of organizations. While serving as head coach for Team Bahamas at the 2013 IAAF World Championships, he also was the women’s national relay team co-coordinator for the Bahamas Association of Athletics Associations in recent years and directed (Level I) IAAF Coaches Education and Certification System courses. He has served as the head coach and president of the Bahamas Speed Dynamics Track and Field Club and Mentoring Program during his time in his native nation. Cleare planned athletic training schedules and models and organized after-school programs for the youth while leading this program. The 2003 National Coach for the Bahamas, Cleare was the National Relay Coordinator and relay coach at the Penn Relays, Carifta Games, CAC Championships, World Youth Championships and World Championships in 2009. He also had the same role for the World Junior Championships in 2008. Also on his resume, he was either the head coach or an assistant coach at the Carifta Games in 2003, 2004 and 2006 and served as the President of the Bahamas Coaches Association from 2003-04. Five Olympians from the last four Olympic Games have worked with Cleare. Ferguson, winner of three Olympic medals and one of the newest additions to the University of Georgia’s Circle of Honor for her academic and athletic success during and since college, highlights this group. Cleare worked with the 2000 Gold medalist in the 4x100-meter relay in four-month spans of the offseason as Ferguson developed into one of the most dominant female sprinters of all-time.

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 Billy David won the 19th century. Georgia’s first-ever After 10 years SEC title in 1933 in the of field days, high jump. 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 fourthplace 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.”

GEORGIA TRACK & FIELD TIMELINE
Debbie Ferguson (left) and Mel Lattany (right) 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 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. 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 19 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 and outdoor awards. Lester Benjamin took the long and triple jump titles at the 1984 outdoor meet to win the trophy with 27.5 points. 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.

The state of Georgia witnessed many such moments when the 1996 Centennial Olympics were held in Atlanta and surrounding cities, including Athens. UGA was well represented at the 2012 Games in London, with 10 athletes sporting UGA ties from six different nations and competing in 10 different events. Reese Hoffa, who still trains in Athens, won Georgia its 12th overall medal after capturing a bronze in the shot put during his third Olympics.
Q & A with Reese Hoffa
Age: 35 Degree: Health & Physical Education Favorite Place In Athens: Downtown because of all of the great food, entertainment, and events like the Twilight bike race. What UGA Means To You: UGA means my home, a place that has always supported me in my dreams of going to three Olympics. Athens is a place that makes me comfortable and that has allowed me to meet so many great friends. Favorite Quote: “I am going to show you how great I am.” -Muhammad Ali. It has been a reminder that it does not matter what you say, it is what you do. Best Memory From London: My greatest memory would have to be walking into the stadium during the opening ceremonies. It will stay with me forever.

unprecedented four events at the Games: the 60-meter dash, the long jump, the 110m hurdles and the 200m hurdles.

Forrest “Spec” Towns
B
Forrest “Spec” Towns is the greatest track and field legend in UGA history, winning SEC, NCAA and Olympic titles and coaching the Georgia track and field squad for over 30 years.
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 (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 60yard 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 the men’s program history) by earning individual high point honors with 16.5. Towns became head track and field coach at UGA in 1938 and served in that capacity until his retirement in 1975.

Forrest “Spec” Towns Track FACILITY RECORDS MEN
“Spec” Towns Track served as the location for the 2011 SEC Outdoor Championships, as seen above. The facility underwent a multi-million dollar renovation following the 2009 season. Georgia made its debut on the track at the 2010 Spec Towns Invitational.
N
amed in honor of former Georgia track and field legend Forrest “Spec” Towns, the track facility at the University of Georgia is one of the finest in the Southeast. Following the 2009 season, the Spec Towns Track underwent a complete renovation with a multi-million dollar price tag. The new facility opened at the beginning of the year in 2010 and was the site for the 2011 SEC Outdoor Championships. Situated on the far southwestern corner of the University of Georgia athletic complex, “Spec” Towns Track has served as the training ground of numerous NCAA champions, including three-time Olympic gold medalist Gwen Torrence, three-time NCAA shot put champ Brent Noon, three-time NCAA Champion Debbie Ferguson and three-time NCAA Champion Andras Haklits. Most recently, the facility located adjacent to Lumpkin Street has been the training grounds for Reese Hoffa, won won a bronze in the shot put in his third Olympics during the 2012 London Games. Jenny Dahlgren, who wrapped up her career in 2007, trained at the facility and finished as a three-time NCAA champion, collegiate record holder in the hammer throw (239 ft., 4 in., a mark which was set at the “Spec” Towns facility) and three-time Olympian. The most recent renovation is the first since Georgia hosted the 1999 SEC Outdoor Championships. In preparation for hosting the SEC Championships, several renovations took place during the fall of 1998. The first step was to resurface the track itself. The running surfaces are made of an open-pored polyurethane and rubber mixture called Rekortan made by the Balsam Corporation. The brick-red Rekortan finish tops all running lanes and field event areas. The 400-meter track features eight, 42inch running lanes, two throwing circles with cages, dual vaulting areas, along with two javelin runways, a shot put area, two high jump pits and a drainage system. The track was constructed during the summer of 1964 and resurfaced twice previously, once in 1972 and again in 1981. The surface was ground down to the original asphalt and resurfaced with a Rekortan finish in 1986. A 1,000-seat grandstand with restroom and storage facilities was completed in 1987. A fence around the track ensures the safety and, when necessary, the privacy of athletes during Forrest Towns Track was dedicated in a training.

J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics & UGA President
Greg McGarity, J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics
Athens native and University of Georgia graduate Greg McGarity was named the Director of Athletics at UGA on August 13, 2010, after serving 18 years in the athletic department at the University of Florida. In the fall of 2013, a gift from the John and Kay Parker family permanently endowed the University of Georgia Director of Athletics position. Since returning to the Bulldogs, McGarity has injected a program of imagination and innovation into the Georgia Athletic Association with emphasis on exploring new ideas and initiatives designed to move the organization forward in all areas of competition, academics, and service. Among the many initiatives are implementation of a nutrition program for all sports, greater emphasis on customer service as well as community service, scoreboard upgrades enhancing the in-game experience for guests and patrons in all sports, and development of leadership programs fostering staff development. In addition, he has encouraged the experimentation of new ideas such as moving volleyball competition to Stegeman Coliseum and helping bring a sold-out concert (Jason Aldean, 65,000) to Sanford Stadium for the first time in stadium history. He was also instrumental in development and implementation along with Nike of a new brand identity program which brings consistency in use of colors, logos, lettering and numerals to Georgia sports teams. He was named recipient of the 2013 Tom Osborne Award presented by the Collegiate and Professional Sports Dietitians Association (CPSDA) for special achievement and contributions to advanced-practice sports nutrition. McGarity oversees a 21-sport athletics program supported by a budget of $92 million. Since becoming Director of Athletics, Georgia teams have won a national championship in women’s swimming and diving (2013) and SEC championships in men’s tennis (2011 and 2013), women’s tennis (2013), women’s swimming and diving (2011, 2012, 2013), men’s tennis SEC Tournament (2012 and 2013), and two SEC eastern division titles in football (2011 and 2012). During that time 18 different Georgia teams have been ranked in the nation’s top 20 and 10 in the top ten. Georgia’s standing in the Learfield Director’s Cup, which annually measures athletic teams success in NCAA championships, has improved from 20th in 2011 to 10th in 2013. A 1976 graduate of UGA’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, McGarity is a 2012 inductee into the Grady Fellowship, a recognition program to honor those whose influence, achievements and service to the media professions have enhanced the reputation of the Grady College. He was also appointed in 2012 to the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee, a position he will hold through 2016. At UF, he served as Executive Associate Athletic Director after serving as both an associate and senior associate athletic director during his tenure. His duties at Florida included assisting the athletic director in daily operations of the department, assisting in preparation and approval of the annual budget and extensive involvement in long-term planning, contracts, competition scheduling and employment searches, among other areas. McGarity was involved in the planning and supervision of several construction projects, including the expansion of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and the William Heavener Football Complex. McGarity was a letterman on the 1973 Bulldog tennis team and following graduation began his professional career at UGA. After serving as a student assistant from 1973-77, he held positions as assistant sports information director and head women’s tennis coach (1977-82), administrative assistant (1982-88), and assistant athletic director for facilities and event management (1988-92). McGarity is married to the former Sheryl Holland, who graduated from UGA in 1976 with a Bachelor of Science degree in education. They have one son, Alex, a graduate of the University of Florida and the University of Georgia.
