Head Coach Petros Kyprianou Thoughts On The Men’s 2016 Season:

“This crew is the most talented and experienced group of young men we have had in a long time. I am very excited to see them go out with a bang and set the tone for the talented young group of athletes we are either redshirting or competing for the first time. It will be nice to have our decathletes and throwers lead the way again and they will be complemented by a positive change in the sprints. The NCAA meet is our main goal as a team and that is being instilled in the team’s minds throughout fall training and everyone has responded well. As long as these talented young men stay healthy, eligible and happy, good things will come for our men’s team.”

Coach Kyprianou On The Women In 2016:

“With almost all of our NCAA 2015 women’s team returning, the goal for this great group of young women remains the same. Continue to excel at the NCAA meet and be role models for our community. The firepower of this team comes from the jumps and combined events but this year I am excited to see what our throwers can do as we have student-athletes who own American junior records and represented the USA at major championships. When you have two women that have won three NCAA titles each and three others who have won NCAA titles, the goal of this team is a given. The main key is to keep them healthy, focused and in great physical condition to do what they love.”

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. 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 continued to develop Georgia into a “decathlon/heptathlon powerhouse” of sorts in his tenure. Cory Holman exploded for a school

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 5.32m (17-5.50) 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 in 2010, Holman, competing in the multi-events for the first time, set an SEC Championships record in the high jump (2.18m,

7-1.75) 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 3.86m (12-8) to 4.24m (13-11.25) in the pole vault and advancing to both NCAA meets; John Smith soaring to a one-foot PR of 5.20m (17-1) and earning runner-up honors at 2010 SEC Outdoor Championships; and Aaron LaGarde reaching new heights in both the long jump (7.75m - 25-5.25) and the triple jump (16.04m - 52-7.50), and also qualifying for the 2010 USA Championships. On the professional circuit, Kyprianou has served as the strength coach for high jumper and former Lady Bulldog Levern Spencer, who has a PR of 1.98m (6-6), and Welsch, who is a four-time USA women’s triple jump champion with a best of 14.30m (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 5.25m (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 4.09m (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.

With the arrival of his 20th year in red and black and in his 32nd year overall coaching, Don Babbitt has transformed the Georgia throws program into arguably the most continually talented group in the country. And with a total of 27 NCAA champions and 117 All-Americans, he is perhaps the most accomplished throwing coach in the world. Babbitt was promoted to Associate Head Coach in June 2015. Under Babbitt’s guidance since 1996, Georgia’s throwers have reached a high level of success. The Bulldog throwers have captured 12 NCAA titles, earned 78 All-American certificates and won 48 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: l 2003 USTFCCCA National Assistant Coach of the Year l 2007 USTFCCCA East Region Women’s Throws Coach of the Year l 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: l 52 throwers who have competed at the Olympic Games/World Championships l His throwers have captured 21 medals in international competition l His throwers have won 20 titles at the USA Championships Seven NCAA titles, 36 All-American honors and 19 SEC crowns during the past 10 seasons further solidified Babbitt’s hold as one of the premier throws coaches in the track and field world. 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) and added six more All-America certificates, including three topsix 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 Miller topped a 20-year-old school record in the indoor shot put (20.31m – 66 feet, 7 ¾ inches) as Babbitt’s corps picked up another pair of First Team All-America honors at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. 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 (200610). 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 (275-2). This mark established a new NCAA American collegiate record. Other notable Bulldog performers under Babbitt’s tutelage include collegiate record holder Jenny Dahlgren (hammer throw), 2003 NCAA champion Lucais MacKay (hammer) and three-time national champion Andras 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 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 has developed into the world’s most consistent thrower over the last 15 years and will go down, along with Nelson, as one of the all-time greats in the sport. Babbitt is has also served as he 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 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. 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 also conducted clinics and seminars on six different continents, including 17 different states in the US. 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. In addition, Babbitt produced and taught the throws curriculum for the new USATFCCCA 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 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, Taiwan 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, who is a member of the NCAA Division II NCAA Track & Field Hall of Fame. They have two daughters, Julia (17) and Veronika (9).

Ken Harnden Associate Head Coach (Sprints, Hurdles) 2005 USTFCCCA National Combined Assistant Coach of the Year 2007 USTFCCCA National Combined Assistant Coach of the Year 2012 USTFCCCA Outdoor Men’s National Assistant Coach of the Year

Two-time Olympian and former NCAA champion Ken Harnden was named an associate head coach of Georgia’s track and field teams in July 2015. Harnden joined Don Babbitt as the Bulldogs’ two associate head coaches and Harnden will coach men and women’s sprints and hurdles. Harnden, a 1996 and 2000 Olympic 400-meter hurdler for his native Zimbabwe, came to the Bulldogs from Florida State. In Tallahassee, he coached 20 of the Seminoles’ 36 individual NCAA champions, which is the most sprint titles by any active assistant coach in the country. The most recent of Harnden’s NCAA titles came in June 2015 at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Ore.,

as Florida State’s Kala Funderburk won the 400 crown. Funderburk won the event coming out of lane eight, a feat that rarely happens on the track. Also at the 2015 NCAA Outdoor Championships, FSU’s Sage Watson took fourth place in the women’s 400 hurdles. The collegiate records in the 100 and 200 were set by Seminole sprinters under Harnden’s tutelage as well. The 100 record was set in 2011 by Ngoni Makusha, who went on to win The Bowerman Award (track and field’s highest individual honor) that year. FSU came within one point of a team national title in large part because of Harnden’s sprint group. The collegiate 200 record set under Harnden was done by one of the most decorated sprinters in collegiate track history, Walter Dix. Dix was a six-time NCAA Champion and an 18-time All-American under Harnden, and went on to take the bronze medal in both the 100 and 200 at the 2008 Olympics, in Beijing, China. The three-time U.S.Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches (USTFCCCA) National Assistant Coach of the Year has guided six different student-athletes to 10 seconds or faster in the 100, five student-athletes to 20.30 or faster in the 200 and three student-athletes to sub-45 second times in the 400 while at FSU. Harden has also amassed more than 100 All-American honors to go alongside the 20 NCAA titles. His student-athletes are responsible for three of FSU’s all-time top-10 marks in the men’s 110 hurdles, as well as the men and women’s 400 hurdles. Harnden’s sprinters have four of FSU’s 10 best women’s 100 hurdles marks. In 2008, Harnden coached Drew Brunson to an NCAA indoor 60 hurdles title and an NCAA fifth-place finish in the outdoor 110 hurdles. He also guided former Olympian and NCAA All-American Anne Zagre to a school-record 12.83 in the women’s 100 hurdles. Harnden twice represented his native country of Zimbabwe in the 400 hurdles at the Olympic Games (1996, 2000), and was twice a finalist at the World Championships in the event. He also took bronze at the 1998 Commonwealth Games. An alumnus of the University of North Carolina, Harnden won the 1995 NCAA title in the 400 hurdles as a Tar Heel and still holds the school record in the event. He also ran on UNC’s national champion 4x400 meter relay that year. Harnden comes to Athens with his wife, Betsy, and his two sons, Garry and Pierce.

Harnden’s Accomplishments At FSU

87 First Team All-Americans 20 NCAA champions 68 Atlantic Coast Conference event champions Coached 12 Seminoles who have represented their respective countries in the last three Olympic Games l A three-time USTFCCCA Men’s National Assistant Coach of the Year l Coach of The Bowerman Award winner Ngoni Makusha – presented to the nation’s top collegiate track & field athlete – in 2011 l Seven school-record holders – five men and two women – were established during his time in Tallahassee l Eight of the top 10 men’s 100-meter times and seven of the top 10 200m and 400m times came under his direction l Each of the top 10 men’s 4x100m relay marks and five of 10 4x400m relays belong to Harnden’s FSU units l Track & Field News ranked the 2014 Florida State men’s signing class as the best in the nation for the second time in three years last year; The publication has also recognized two of the last three FSU women’s signing classes among the top 10 in the nation l l l l

Patrick Cunniff Distance 2013 USTFCCCA South Region Men’s Cross Country Coach of the Year

University of Georgia graduate Patrick Cunniff joined the Bulldog staff in August 2012. The 1991 Bulldog graduate is guiding UGA’s distance program, coaching the cross country teams in the fall and directing Georgia’s runners from 800 meters to 10,000 meters during the indoor and outdoor seasons. During his three years back in Athens, Cunniff coached the men’s cross country team to the 2013 NCAA South Regional championship, marking only the second time in program history that UGA has won, and led the men’s cross team to the highest finish in program history at both NCAA Championships (19th in 2012) and SEC Championships (second in 2012). The women also qualified for Nationals in 2012 for the first time in four years. On the track, his student-athletes have set school records 12 times, qualified 20 individuals to the NCAA East Prelims, won two SEC individual titles and earned 11 All-American certificates. The Bulldog men’s distance runners tallied 22 of Georgia’s 71.50 points at the 2015 SEC Outdoor Championships, with defending 10,000 champion Brandon Lord taking the track in the 5000 rather than his preferred race. Counting Lord, the Georgia men qualified six for the NCAA Prelims, including a trio in the 800. On the women’s side, Bret McDaniel trimmed 21 seconds off her personal record in the steeplechase in 2015 to set a school record of 10:01.58. This was McDaniel’s final collegiate meet as she finished just one spot from advancing to the NCAA Championships. As his teams have done since his arrival, the Bulldog distance corps was outstanding in the classroom in 2015. Both cross teams earned U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic Teams (women – 3.33 GPA, men – 3.11) and five Georgia runners earned 2015 USTFCCCA Academic Individual awards on the track while Brandon Lord was a Capital One Academic All-America First Team member after garnering Third Team honors the year before. Distance runners Kisean Smith and Marrion Kalafut were also named to the 2015 SEC Community Service Team for their work away from the track. Lord also had success on the track in 2015. He shattered the indoor 3000 record (7:56.50) and the indoor 5000 mark (13:43.92), shot to No. 2 on the outdoor 10,000 list with a 29:09.46, was a scorer at both SEC Championships and advanced to the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships in his final year. In addition, Lord worked with three teammates to clock UGA’s third-best distance medley relay time in history (9:48.48) to score at SECs. Another Bulldog quartet also took over the No. 4 spot in Georgia’s record books in the distance medley during the 2015 indoor campaign. Through the 2015 indoor and outdoor seasons, the Bulldog distance runners added 23 new times to the school all-time top-10 lists. In 2013, Cunniff was named the USTFCCCA South Region Men’s Coach of the Year as the Georgia men made their school record third consecutive trip to the NCAA Cross Country Championships. The Bulldogs assured their spot in Terre Haute, Ind., by winning their first NCAA South Regional championship since 2003 with a one-point victory over the Florida Gators. Cunniff wasted little time making his presence known across the SEC and the nation during the 2012 cross season. The Bulldog men matched their best finish in history at the SEC Championships (second). Then, the squad automatically qualified for its 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. The Lady Bulldogs surged to their first trip to the NCAA meet since 2007

during Cunniff’s first year at the helm in 2012. 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 UGA 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 four cross seasons with 16 All-Region performers, including a school record eight in 2012, to go along with eight runners on one of the All-SEC squads. Luke Baker wrapped up his conference career in 2013 with a fourth-place finish. The 2014 track season for the Bulldog distance corps saw another series of impressive performances. In addition to Lord locking down the SEC 10,000 crown, Cunniff had middle distance runners score at both the NCAA indoor and outdoor meets where Georgia returned to Athens with a trio of top-10 team finishes. Carly Hamilton earned her second straight First Team All-America certificate by taking fifth in the mile indoors. Outdoors, Megan Malasarte closed out her career by surging for a fourth-place finish in the 800 meters to make her a two-time First Team All-American in the event. In his first track season with the Bulldogs, Cunniff led Hamilton to the 2013 SEC outdoor crown in the 1500 and a First Team All-America certificate in the mile following her fourth-place finish. 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. During Cunniff’s three seasons with the Bulldog track team, his runners established 56 improvements to Georgia’s all-time top-10 lists in the various distance events, including an astounding 10 school records. Georgia’s immense success in the classroom has also coincided with Cunniff’s return to Athens. The Bulldog men were named the USTFCCCA National Scholar Team of the Year for the 2014 outdoor season thanks in large part to the contributions from Cunniff’s distance crew. Lord complemented his SEC title with the SEC Scholar Athlete Award for outdoor track and Academic All-America ThirdTeam honors while both cross country teams garnered 2014 All-Academic Team honors. Additionally, Baker and Megan Malasarte were named to the 2014 SEC Community Service Teams. A native of North Kingstown, R.I., Cunniff came to UGA after serving five years as Long Beach States cross country and assistant track coach from 2007-12. His distance runners highlighted Cunniff’s final season by winning a conference individual title in cross country, indoor and outdoor track. Each title 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 (1500 meters) and 3:59.08 (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 under Cunniff’s guidance. 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 accolades. Cunniff coached seven NCAA Division I Championship qualifiers (three cross, 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. 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, theTexas 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 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.

Georgia Track

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 cenBilly David won tury. UGA’s first-ever SEC title After 10 years in 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.

and

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.”

Field History

The 1995 women’s squad won the SEC outdoor team championship.

Coaches

Petros Kyprianou became the 14th head coach of the Bulldog track and field program in July 2015. A UGA assistant from 2008-14 after arriving from Boise State, Kyprianou was named the team’s associate head coach in 2014 before his promotion to head coach. Over the last three years, his crew has been on a torrid pace, accumulating 11 NCAA titles, 24 SEC championships and 47 First Team All-American certificates. Former head coach Wayne Norton

directed Georgia’s storied track program until 2015 after taking over for coach John Mitchell after the 1999 season. Norton, who finished with a pair of SEC women’s team titles on his resume, guided his squads to 29 top-20 national finishes and led the Bulldogs to scores of SEC and NCAA individual crowns. He previously served nine years as an assistant in charge of jumps at Georgia. Mitchell, an esteemed member of the track and field fraternity, built his reputation at the University of Alabama, where he won three SEC Coach of The Year awards. Mitchell led the Georgia men’s team to five top-10 finishes in the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Mitchell also helped elevate the UGA women’s team to a new level of excellence by guiding them to third at the 1995 NCAA outdoor meet, second at the 1996 indoor event and fourth in the 1999 NCAA Outdoor Championships. The women earned their first SEC team title outdoors in 1995, and Mitchell was named the SEC’s indoor and outdoor Coach Of The Year. The first Georgia Georgia’s 1936 men’s team produced six individual SEC titles. coach was John

Mahan, a native of New York, who coached during the 1897 and 1898 seasons and ended his brief career with a perfect 1-0 dual-meet record. Following Mahan were Billy Reynolds, a Princeton graduate who also coached baseball, C.O. Heidler, an assistant basketball coach, and W.A. Cunningham, one of Georgia’s football coaches. With interest in track and field waning, the sport was revived by Herman J. Stegeman, a star at the University of Chicago who developed track and field into a popular sport at Georgia. Stegeman led UGA for 17 years and built one of the strongest teams in the South during his tenure. Along with assistant Weems Baskin, Stegeman guided Georgia to the 1937 SEC championship, still the only men’s SEC team title in the program’s history. The star of the 1937 team was a youngster named Forrest Towns, whom everyone simply called “Spec”. Towns captured his second NCAA title in the high hurdles that year. Baskin coached one more season after Stegeman ascended to the Athletic Director’s position, then turned the reigns over to another future Hall of Famer, Towns, who would enjoy the longest tenure of any coach at UGA. He coached for 34 seasons before retiring in the fall of 1975. Taking over for Towns was his long-time assistant and fellow Georgia track and field great Lewis Gainey. Gainey directed the Bulldogs during one of their most successful periods in the late 1970s and early 1980s. All-Americans such as Mel Lattany, Stanley Blalock, Dothel Edwards, Lester Benjamin and Herschel Walker were just a few of Gainey’s prized pupils. Gainey was assisted by Georgia’s first three women’s coaches, Bill Katz, Steve Sitler and Mike Sheeley, before taking over the female squad in 1988. The “Bulldog Babes”, as they were known at first, immediately began producing All-Americans like Veronica Walker, Kathy Rankins, Linda Detlefsen and

GEORGIA TRACK & FIELD TIMELINE

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

Facilities

Gwen Torrence. 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. 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.

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. 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: 38 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.

Through The Years... 1900: Alvin Kraenzlein wins an unprecedented four events at the Games: the 60-meter dash, the long jump, the 110m hurdles and the 200m hurdles.

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 renovated 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, 42-inch 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 Forrest ‘Spec’ Towns Track was dedicated in a special necessary, the privacy of athletes during training. ceremony on May 20, 1990.

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 Director of Athletics at UGA on August 13, 2010, after serving 18 years in the athletic department at the University of Florida. Since that time, 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 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. McGarity oversees a 21-sport athletics program supported by a budget of $99 million. Since he became Director of Athletics, UGA teams have won national championships in women’s swimming and diving (2013-14) and equestrian (2014) and SEC championships in men’s tennis (2011, ’13, ’14, and ‘15), women’s tennis (2013), women’s tennis SEC Tournament (’14), women’s swimming and diving (2011, ’12, ’13, ’14, and ‘15), men’s tennis SEC Tournament (2012 and ‘13), 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 and is consistently in the top 20. McGarity has also been a standard bearer for academic achievement. Since his arrival, Georgia student-athletes have been the recipients of eight NCAA Post Graduate Scholarships, 21 CoSIDA Academic All-American awards, three NCAA Top Ten honors, three SEC Boyd McWhorter SEC Scholar-Athletes of the Year, and two SEC Brad Davis Awards. In addition, he has been at the forefront of facility expansion and renovation. Recently completed are a $12 million Foley Field (baseball) facility renovation, and new scoreboards/video boards at baseball, softball and soccer. New sound systems in Stegeman Coliseum and Sanford Stadium have also been installed to improve the fan experience, as well as improved rest rooms and concessions stands. In addition, a new Indoor Athletic Facility is scheduled to be constructed adjacent to the Butts-Mehre Building, which will provide a facility for all sports to use. McGarity served on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee from 2012-14. McGarity is also currently serving on the NCAA National Letter of Intent Football Recruiting Group, SEC Fan Experience Working Group, and the U.S. Tennis Association Athletic Director’s Advisory Group. 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 (1977-81), 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.
