Kyprianou led the Lady Bulldogs to a convincing victory at the NCAA Indoor Championships two years ago and then directed the Georgia men to the 2018 NCAA outdoor crown. A native of Limassol, Cyprus/ Greece, he coaches pole vault, jumps, decathlon and heptathlon. The 2020 Bulldog women and men worked themselves up to No. 4 and No. 5 national rankings, respectively, before the indoor season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Kyprianou guided 14 individuals to the NCAA Indoor Championships and they were all designated All-Americans following the meet’s cancellation. His teams posted three school records, captured a trio of Southeastern Conference individual titles, including their eighth straight heptathlon championship, and finished the shortened year ranked No. 1 (6,114 points), No. 2 (6,019) and No. 3 (5,994) in the collegiate heptathlon. Jumper Jasmine Moore experienced her first school year under Kyprianou’s tutelage and was a finalist for the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) National Women’s Field Athlete of the Year, earned the organization’s South Region Women’s Field Athlete of the Year honor, was named the SEC Women’s Freshman Field Athlete of the Year and finished with the country’s top triple jump (13.90 meters/45 feet, 7 ¼ inches) and nation’s fifth-best long jump (6.47m/21-2.75).

During his return to the sport in 2020 following a three-year hiatus, former Bulldog All-American Garrett Scantling, who is one of Georgia’s current volunteer assistants, began working with Kyprianou again and finished with the world’s second-best score in the heptathlon (6,209) in 2020, which is also the eight best all-time U.S. score. Kyprianou’s teams also continued their stellar showing in the classroom in 2020. In addition to have the SEC Women’s Co-Scholar-Athlete of the Year, there were CoSIDA Second and Third Team Academic All-Americans and Samantha Drop was named the 2020-21 Joel Eaves Award winner for having the top GPA of any female UGA student-athlete entering her senior season. While both squads were named USTFCCCA All-Academic Teams and 11 team members earned All-Academic Individual honors, the cross country team topped all other UGA men’s quads for the academic year with a 3.30 and the women’s cross country squad (3.55) had the second-best GPA in their category at the institution. In 2019, Kyprianou’s squads registered another pair of top-10 national team finishes, including reaching the podium with a men’s fourth-place finish at the 2019 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Erm secured the decathlon national championship, which was the Bulldogs’ third title of that kind in the last six years, and UGA finished with 14 scoring First Team All-Americans. Kyprianou’s teams also collected four SEC crowns, including Bulldogs’ seventh indoor heptathlon title in as many years. During the 2019 summer, former Georgia NCAA

champion Devon Williams won his first national crown by finishing first in the decathlon (8,295 points) at the USATF Championships while his younger sister and former Lady Bulldog collegiate record holder, Kendell Williams, was runner-up in the heptathlon at the meet with a personal record of 6,610. In addition, an eight-time NCAA champion while suiting up in the red and black, Keturah Orji, won the triple jump at USAs to become the only woman to win four consecutive U.S. outdoor championships in the event. Kyprianou also conquered a personal challenge during the 2019 summer with his limited free time. He rode his Indian Chief Darkhorse motorcycle more than 2,500 miles from the start to the finish of Route 66 in honor of eradicating childhood cancer. Kyprianou’s “Ride for a CURE” has raised more than $40,000 with hopes of more support in the near future. Serving as the squads’ associate head coach for a year prior to his promotion, Kyprianou is entering his 13th year with the program after earning USTFCCCA National Head Coach of theYear for each of his 2018 championship seasons. He won back-to-back National Women’s Assistant Coach of theYear honors indoors in 2014-15 and was the National Women’s Head Coach of the Year outdoors in 2017. Kyprianou, who has also garnered a combined five regional USTFCCCA Assistant Coach of the Year honors and two regional Head Coach of the Year honors since 2008, has posted an unprecedented seven-year run in Athens. The student-athletes he has coached have locked down 30 NCAA individual titles, including a school record eight in 2017, 49 SEC individual championships, 110 First Team All-

America certificates and the 14 All-Americans from the shortened 2020 campaign. In 2018, the Bulldogs helped propel UGA to finish eighth in the 2017-18 Learfield NACDA Directors’ Cup thanks to the program’s two team national championships, a runner-up national finish (women finished one point behind the victory at the NCAA Outdoor Championships for the second straight year) and a third-place finish. Georgia completed the year with a total of seven NCAA individual titles, a school record 14 SEC championships and another CoSIDA Academic All-American. Also of note, the Lady Bulldog cross country team finished 17th at the NCAA Championships, marking their top finish at the meet since 2006. Samantha and Jessica Drop also became the first teammates to earn All-America honors on the course in the same season. Internationally, Kyprianou continued to coach former Bulldog SEC and NCAA champion Maicel Uibo as the Estonia native earned a bronze medal

In addition, Devon Williams scored 8,088 points to finish in the top 10 at the 2017 IAAF World Championships under Kyprianou’s tutelage. Kyprianou has also continued to fine-tune his techniques and skills in weight lifting, taking second at the 2017 American Masters Weightlifting competition. This performance qualified him for the World Masters Championships. In 2017, Kyprianou led his women’s team to runner-up finishes at both the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships, including falling short of the NCAA team title by just 1.8 points, and top-six national finishes for the Bulldog men. His squads combined for a school record eight national crowns,

13 SEC championships and his women’s team was named the indoor and outdoor Division I Scholar Team of the Year. Kyprianou had little down time during the 2017 summer as a Bulldog contingent competed at the USATF Championships. Both Kendell Williams and Orji both left Eugene, Ore., with titles in the heptathlon and triple jump, respectively. That pair of Georgia competitors then joined up with nine other current or former Bulldogs (five that Kyprianou coached) in London for the IAAF World Championships. Devon Williams and Karl Saluri each tallied 8,000+ points in the decathlon to finish in the top 13 while Kendell Williams scored 6,220 points to take 12th in the heptathlon. During 2016, he guided his crew to four collegiate records (pentathlon, 60-meter hurdles, heptathlon 100m hurdles, women’s outdoor triple jump), a school record five NCAA titles, seven SEC championships and two CoSIDA First Team Academic All-America selections. The Rio Olympics also came in 2016 and Kyprianou coached six different athletes at the Games, which according the IAAF is the most from a single training group (excluding relays). Highlights included Orji winning the U.S.Trials and then topping her own American record for a fourth-place finish, teammate Kendell Williams setting a school record in the heptathlon at the U.S. Trials and finishing 17th at the Games and Levern Spencer taking sixth to give her native St. Lucia its best finals finish in history. Kyprianou’s arrival has made seismic differences for the Bulldogs, in the SEC and across

n i v e r s i t y

o f

the nation. In addition to his national and league cham¬pions, Kyprianou crew has scored 628.7 combined points scored at the NCAA indoor and outdoor meets and 951.5 points at the SEC Championships in 2014-20.Thanks in large part to his corps, Georgia has finished with 17 top-10 and 20 top-20 national finishes in the team races over the last six years, including UGA’s best combined indoor finish in his¬tory (women – 1st, men – 3rd) and outdoor finale in history (men – 1st, women – 2nd) in 2018. In addition Kyprianou’s crew has captured 26 school records (not counting individuals who have topped their own records): 110m hurdles, decathlon (x3), 100m hurdles (x2), women’s outdoor long jump (x3), women’s outdoor triple jump, women’s heptathlon, women’s outdoor pole vault, men’s heptathlon (x2), men’s 60m hurdles, women’s 60m hurdles (x2), women’s indoor high jump (x2), women’s indoor long jump (x3), women’s indoor triple jump, pentathlon, women’s 60m, men’s indoor high jump (x2). 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, 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. 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 also began making his mark in the weight lifting world early in his career. He set the Idaho record for Olympic weight lifting 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. *Please refer to georgiadogs.com to see the entirety of Petros Kyprianou’s bio

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 25th year in red and black and in his 37th 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 29 NCAA champions and 139 All-Americans, the dean of SEC throws coaches is perhaps the most accomplished throwing coach in the world. Babbitt was promoted to Associate Head Coach in June 2015 and since his promotion, the Bulldogs have finished in the top six nationally 11 times, including two national team titles and a pair of runner-up finishes. Most recently, Babbitt guided one of the Bulldogs’ all-time greats, Denzel Comenentia, through his final year in 2019. Comenentia finished his UGA career as a 13-time First Team All-American, eight-time SEC individual champion, two-time NCAA individual champion and the Amsterdam native accomplished a feat in 2019 that had never been conquered in history. Comenentia balanced a trio of events at the NCAA Championships and scored in all three, including a runner-up finish in the shot put (20.77 meters, 68 feet, 1 ¾ inches) and fifth-place showings in both the discus (a personal record of 59.97m, 196-9) and the hammer throw (72.93m, 2933). Following Babbitt’s leadership, Comenentia was named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Co-South Region Men’s Field Athlete of the Year outdoors for the second straight year. He also captured the SEC Commissioner’sTrophy for the second year in a row as the league’s high scorer at the conference meet thanks to his third shot put title in a row and second-place finishes in both the discus and hammer. His personal bests from his final outdoor campaign featured a hammer mark of 76.80m (252-0, No. 10 all-time collegiate performer, longest NCAA mark in 2019, Dutch national record), a shot put effort of 20.78m (682.25, No. 5 on 2019 NCAA list) and a personal-best discus mark that finished No. 2 on Georgia’s all-time list. Comenentia earned another USTFCCCA honor at the conclusion of the indoor season as he was third in both the weight throw (23.32m, 76-6.25) and the shot (20.58m, 67-6.25) at the NCAA meet and won his second SEC indoor shot crown. Babbitt tuned his All-American up to muscle a school record in the shot (20.72m, 67-11.75), which ended up being the country’s third-longest toss of the year, and the NCAA’s third-longest weight throw of 2019 with a mark of 23.52m (77-2). On the women’s side, Marie-Therese Obst launched the fifth-longest javelin effort in UGA history during the 2019 campaign, was third at SECs and qualified for another NCAA Prelims. In addition, Hayden Merrick worked her way up to No. 4 on Georgia’s all-time list in the discus to finish one spot from qualifying for Nationals with a toss of 52.34m (171-9). In 2018, Babbitt directed Comenentia to two NCAA crowns, four First Team All-America honors and a trio of SEC individual championships. Most importantly, Comenentia was the key component to bringing the Bulldogs’ first NCAA team crown back to Athens outdoors. Sweeping the hammer throw and shot put at the SEC Outdoor Championships for the second straight year (while also placing in the discus to win the Commissioner’s Trophy as the meet’s high scorer), Comenentia collected the hammer and shot put NCAA titles together for only the third time in meet history to lead the Bulldog men to their national championships. Babbitt first coached the Amsterdam native to reach a school record distance of 20.44m (67-0.75) in the indoor shot put and 23.71m (77-9.50) in the weight throw, which is a mark that sits only behind one of Babbitt’s former throwers, NCAA champion and Olympian Andras Haklits (79.30m, 80-2). Outdoors, Comenentia improved to second on Georgia’s all-time list in the shot (20.88m, 68-6), hammer (a Dutch national record of 76.41m, 250-8) and discus (58.81m, 192-11). The effort in the hammer put Comenentia as the No. 10 all-time collegiate performer and gave the Bulldogs two on the all-time list as Haklits remains No. 2. Under Babbitt’s guidance since 1996, Georgia’s throwers have reached a high level of success. The Bulldog throwers have captured 14 NCAA titles, earned 100 All-American certificates and won 59 SEC titles since Babbitt arrived in Athens. Thanks to the performances listed above and others, Babbitt has garnered the

following honors while coaching at Georgia: - 2003 USTFCCCA National Assistant Coach of the Year - 2007 USTFCCCA East Region Women’s Throws Coach of the Year - 2009 USTFCCCA East Region Men’s Throws Coach of the Year Babbitt came to Athens from California State University in Los Angeles where he was an assistant from 1988-96. He built the Cal State-Los Angeles throwing program into the strongest at the NCAA Division II level, producing 46 NCAA qualifiers, 39 All-Americans and 15 NCAA Champions. Babbitt’s success at the international level is also highlighted below: - 53 throwers who have competed at the Olympic Games/World Championships - His throwers have captured 21 medals in international competition - His throwers have won 20 titles at the USA Championships Seven NCAA titles, 54 All-American honors and 27 SEC crowns during the last 14 seasons further solidified Babbitt’s hold as one of the world’s premier throws coaches. The trend became even more evident as the native of Santa Monica, Calif., led freshman Freya Jones to the 2013 NCAA javelin title and four other throwers to All-America honors that year. In 2014, his throwers swept the SEC hammer throw titles (first time the Bulldogs have won both since 2001; UGA accomplished the feat again in 2017) and added six more All-America certificates, including three top-six national finishes in the men’s hammer, men’s shot put and women’s javelin. Alex Poursanidis won his second consecutive SEC hammer championship in 2015 and Ashinia Miler topped a 20-year-old school record in the indoor shot put (20.31m, 66-7.75) as Babbitt’s corps picked up another pair of First Team All-America honors at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. When 2016 had come and gone, Babbitt had directed then freshman Comenentia to First Team All-America honors in the indoor shot put and Ashinia Miller to a sweep of the SEC shot put titles. Babbitt’s throwers have seen success throughout the 2000s. Nikola Lomnicka registered four All-America certificates over her years at UGA (2010-12) to go along with the 2010 national title in the hammer throw, marking Georgia’s third championship in the event during a five-year span (2006-10). In 2009, Chris Hill won his second consecutive NCAA title in the javelin throw and capped his NCAA career with a USATF National Championship as well with a throw of 83.87m (275-2). This mark established a new NCAA American collegiate record. Other notable Bulldog performers under Babbitt’s tutelage include now former collegiate record holder Jenny Dahlgren (hammer throw), 2003 NCAA champion Lucais MacKay (hammer) and the three-time national champion Haklits (two hammer, one weight). In 2007, Dahlgren finished her Bulldog career with three NCAA titles, eight All-American certificates and four SEC titles while the Argentinian shattered school, SEC, collegiate, NCAA Championship and South American records in the hammer throw (72.94m, 239-3) under Babbitt’s guidance. Two years before Dahlgren’s finale, Babbitt led his throwers to eight top-20 finishes during the 2005 NCAA Championships, highlighted by Trevor Snyder’s second-place finish in the javelin and Dahlgren’s pair of top-five finishes in the NCAA Championships. In 2003, Babbitt guided MacKay to All-America honors in the weight, hammer and discus as MacKay became a six-time All-America thrower while at UGA. Babbitt also coached MacKay to an NCAA title in the hammer throw and led Panagiotis Mavraganis to All-America honors in the weight throw as well as SEC titles in the weight and hammer throws in 2003. In addition, Babbitt has had a long-term coaching relationship with Haklits, the four-time Croatian Olympian and hammer record holder. Haklits finished eighth in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and seventh in the hammer at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, Germany. Babbitt has also guided a number of the world’s top performers at the professional level. These include 2004 Olympic champion and 2005 World Outdoor shot put champion Adam Nelson and 2006 World Indoor and 2007 World Outdoor shot put champion and 2012 Olympic bronze medalist Reese Hoffa. Hoffa developed into the world’s most consistent thrower over a 15-year period and will go down, along with Nelson, as one of the all-time greats in the sport. Babbitt is has also served as the personal coach of eight-time U.S. Champion and current American record holder Breaux Greer (javelin), as well as Canadian record holder Jason Tunks (discus) and three-time Canadian Olympian and former Canadian record holder Brad Snyder (shot put). Babbitt received his bachelor’s degree in Biology from UCLA in 1989 and his Master’s degree in Exercise Science from Cal State-Los Angeles in 1994. He is currently completing a PhD in Kinesiology (Sport Pedagogy) at the University of Georgia. An avid writer and clinician, Babbitt has written over 75 articles and three book chapters for publications on six continents and in six different languages. He has also conducted clinics and seminars on six different continents, including 18 different states in the US. Babbitt has served the Throws Editor for the World Athletics Coaches Education Program and a World Athletics Level V Lecturer for the World Athletics 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) and ALTIS’ Coaching Education Program. 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, Netherlands 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 (born in 1998), and Veronika (born in 2006). Julia competes on Princeton’s track and field team.

Althea Thomas was hired as the Bulldogs’ recruiting coordinator and women’s sprints, hurdles and relays coach in August 2017. Following the 2018 outdoor campaign, she assumed the role of the men’s and women’s sprints, hurdles and relays and continued her position at the teams’ recruiting coordinator. Thomas was promoted to be an associate head coach during the fall of 2020 while also continuing her recruiting and coaching roles. The 2020 indoor season was stalled prior to the NCAA Championships. However, Thomas’ crew still figured out a way to bring nationwide attention to the Bulldog program. In just his first year in the red and black, Matthew Boling earned Southeastern Conference Men’s Freshman Runner of the Year honors and finished with the country’s fourth-best indoor 200-meter dash time (20.66) for 2020. His 20.66 topped an 11-year-old school record and set him up for his runner-up finish at the SEC final with a 20.71. In addition, Boling rocketed to third on UGA’s all-time top-10 list in the 60m with an early season 6.68. Thomas saw her sprinters and hurdles combine for 24 points at the 2020 SEC Indoor Championships and had three of them qualify for Nationals. On the women’s side, Amber Tanner continued her development under Thomas and captured Georgia’s first conference crown in the 800m since 1995. Tanner, who like Boling was a U.S.Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic Individual, established a school record of 2:03.02 at the Tyson Invitational before registering a 2:04.35 to grab top honors at SECs. She finished with the nation’s third-best collegiate time for 2020. In addition toTanner anchoring two of the top three 4x400m relay finishes in UGA history during 2020 including a 3:36.07, Thomas also had another pair score at the SEC Championships and make their own revisions to the school record books. Elija Godwin continued his recovery from a season-ending injury in 2019 to take third in the 400m at the SEC meet. His time of 45.96 sent him to No. 3 on UGA’s all-time top-10 list and was the program’s best time since 2010. Godwin, who also recorded the school’s fourth-best 200m time (21.02) in 2020, finished with the country’s No. 7 400m time to advance to the NCAA Championships. During her first full season with Georgia in 2018, Thomas’ worth as one of the Bulldogs’ instructors was immediately evident. She led true freshman Lynna Irby to score a combined 28 points at Nationals as the Georgia women won the program’s first NCAA indoor title and then finished as the runner-up at the 2018 NCAA Outdoor Championships by a single point. Irby was named the USTFCCCA South Region Women’s Track Athlete of the Year both indoors and outdoors. Outdoors, Thomas directed her first-year sensation to set the meet record and be the second-best 400m performer with the second-best performance in collegiate history (49.80) as Irby won the NCAA 400m title in convincing fashion. This came after her meet record time of 50.44 to win the NCAA East Prelims. Irby added a third-place finish in the 200m to her first 10 points as the Lady Bulldogs were second at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Thomas’ crew made six alterations to the school’s outdoor record books, including a UGA 400m record that topped 2016 Olympic gold medalist Shaunae Miller’s mark of 50.70 from 2013. In addition, Irby completed the 200m sweep at the SEC Indoor and Outdoor Championships in her first year. Thomas’ 4x100m relay squads also posted times of 43.90, 44.02 and 44.05 and completed the year with the second and third-fastest times in school history. Micaiah Ransby improved her 200m time to 23.47 in her sophomore season while Tanner completed the fastest two laps of her career in the 800m in 2:07.13 during her second year. Indoors, her women’s sprinters secured five fresh spots on the school’s all-time top-10 lists, including school records in both the 200m and 400m. Irby finished third in the 200m at NCAAs with a new No. 1 mark in UGA history at 22.55. Thomas also guided the Indianapolis, Ind., native to be a school record

n i v e r s i t y

holder and No. 5 all-time collegiate performer in the 400m with a time of 50.62 to take second at the SEC Championships. Irby complemented her third-place finish in the 200m at Nationals with another third-place finish in the 400m at NCAAs for a total of 12 points, which was the difference in Georgia capturing its first crown. Thomas also won the 300m at the early-season Orange & Purple Classic with a time of 36.73, making her the No. 10 all-time collegiate performer in the event. In addition, Ransby improved her 400m time to 53.85 at SECs and Tanner shot to No. 3 on the all-time list at 2:06.28 in the 800m during the indoor season. Following NCAA team titles for both the men and the women in 2018, Thomas began to guide both the Bulldog men and women sprinters starting in the fall leading up to the 2019 indoor and outdoor seasons. Year two saw another step in the transformation for the Bulldog sprinters and middle-distance runners. Thomas’ crew accounted for 14 revisions to the school’s all-time top-10 lists, including setting school records in both the women’s indoor 4x400m relay (3:31.09) and with Michael Nicholls in the men’s 60m hurdles (7.67). Six of her individuals or relays qualified for either the NCAA Indoor or Outdoor Championships and both Irby and the women’s indoor 4x400m relay consisting of Ransby, Tanner, Irby and heptathlete Sterling Lester scored. Irby was fifth in the 400m at the 2019 NCAA indoor meet with a 52.38 while she and her 4x400m relay mates took fourth with a school record time of 3:31.09. Irby, who turned professional during the 2019 outdoor season, also highlightedThomas’ second indoor season in Athens with her first SEC indoor 400m title (52.02). In addition, Irby ran a leg on the record-setting relay that scored at the SEC Indoor Championships with a 3:31.97, which was the nation’s ninth-best time before Nationals arrived. Other indoor highlights for the Georgia women in 2019 included Tanner bettering her 800m time to 2:05.59 (then No. 2 in school history) for third place at SECs and qualifying for NCAAs. On the men’s side, Nicholls complemented his school record with a fourth-place finish at the conference indoor meet and a berth to Nationals. Outdoors, Godwin, then in his first year, earned the SEC Men’s Co-Freshman Runner of the Year with impressive times from 100m to 400m despite his season being cut short with an injury. Registering a 10.47 to win theYellow Jacket Invitational, Godwin swept the 200m and 400m victories at the Torrin Lawrence Memorial thanks to the No. 7 all-time UGA finish (20.59) and the No. 9 all-time UGA finish (45.92). Nicholls also thrived during his final campaign in red and black as he sped to a pair of 13.61s during the postseason to take over the No. 2 spot in the Bulldog record books, scored at the SEC Outdoor Championships and qualified for the NCAA Championships. Tanner continued to make strides for Thomas and the Lady Bulldogs during the 2019 outdoor season in the 800m and on the 4x400m relay. She shaved her 800m time to 2:04.60, which was No. 2 on Georgia’s all-time top-10 list and finished as a top-20 time nationally for the season, earned runner-up honors at SECs and qualified for her first NCAA Outdoor Championships. The relay unit, which included Ransby, Lester, Chelsea Zoller and Tanner, finished seventh at the league meet with the No. 3 time in UGA history and best since 2002 (3:34.09). Tanner also added a regular season 400m time of 53.59 (No. 9 all-time UGA history) to show off her enhanced speed. In addition, Ransby was an NCAA Prelims qualifier with her 53.71 in the 400m, a time that was just outside of the Lady Bulldogs’ all-time top-10 list. Thomas came to Athens by way of Clemson where she spent the previous four years as an assistant for the Tigers. In her final season at Clemson in 2017, Thomas guided two individuals in the sprints and hurdles and two relays to the NCAA Championships. Thomas helped lead the men’s 4x400m relay team to four titles in three years: 2017 ACC indoor and outdoor championships, 2015-16 ACC indoor championships. In addition, Thomas coached two conference champions in the sprints at the conference indoor meet. The Tigers swept the top three spots in the men’s 400m competition. In total, the Tigers had 23 All-ACC First Team selections and 25 All-ACC Second Team awards between the men and women’s squads in 2017. During her time at Clemson starting in 2013, Thomas coached four ACC relay champions, three ACC individual champions, a USA Junior champion along with a grand total of 22 All-ACC student-athletes. She also guided the 2016 Tiger 4x400m relay team to First Team All-America honors and the 2015 4x400m relay team on the women’s side to First Team All-America certificates. Prior to her time with the Tigers, Thomas spent a season at Purdue (201213) and two years at Kentucky (2010-12). She began her full-time coaching career in 2008 as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for University of Alabama-Birmingham’s women’s team and held the position until departing for Lexington. Thomas, a native of Birmingham, Ala., earned her Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from LSU in 2004, where she was a member of two NCAA outdoor championships (2000, 2003). She was a provisional NCAA qualifier in the 800m and a national qualifier in the 400m hurdles in 2003. Upon completion of her degree, she acted as the head coach for the Alabama Striders Track Club from 2005-2010 and assistant coach at Huffman High School (Birmingham, Ala.) from 2004-06 until she made the jump to the collegiate ranks.

University of Georgia graduate Patrick Cunniff joined the Bulldog staff as the distance coach in August 2012 after leading the distance program at Long Beach State for five years. During the Lady Bulldogs’ run to its first NCAA team indoor title and a second straight runner-up finish outdoors in 2018, he guided Jessica Drop to be a key contributing scorer during both campaigns. In 2019, Cunniff guided Jessica Drop to lead her team at the SEC Cross Country Championships for the fourth consecutive year with her fourth finish of 14th or better in a row. She later finished third at the NCAA South Regional for the third straight season for All-Region honors. Twin sister Samantha Drop became a four-year scorer at the SEC meet after taking eighth and later earned All-Region honors for the third time. The Drop sisters combined to each score in a pair of events at the 2020 SEC Indoor Championships with Jessica Drop taking third in the 3000 meters (9:16.25) and fourth in the 5000m (16:07.06) and Samantha finishing seventh in the 5000m (16:16.25, No. 3 in school record books) and eighth in the 3000m (9:26.79). Also at SECs, Anna Marian Block was eighth in the mile (4:50.41) after registering the Lady Bulldogs’ seventh-best finish in history (4:46.12) at the Husky Classic. In addition at the conference meet, Ellie Hall was the top freshman finisher in the 5000m, taking 14th. When the year concluded prior to the NCAA Indoor Championships because of the COVID pandemic, Samantha had also recorded UGA’s fourth-best 3000m time in history (9:26.50) at the Razorback Invitational. For the men, redshirt freshman Sam Bowers was the top freshman finisher at the 2020 SEC Championships thanks to his 10th-place finish (8:15.71) in the 3000m. Earlier in the year, Bowers ran UGA’s eighth-best 3000m in history with an 8:11.59 at the Husky Classic. During the 2018 cross season, Jessica Drop’s All-SEC First Team performance at the 2018 SEC Championships helped give Georgia fourth as a team. She and senior Grace Tavani also earned All-Region honors. On the men’s side, Sam Bowers was named to the All-Freshman Team for his 28th-place finish at SECs. Indoors in 2018, Samantha Drop finished eighth in the 5000m at the conference meet. Anna Marian Block, then a true freshman, also registered the school’s seventh-best 800m time (2:08.81) in history and was then ninth at the SECs. On the men’s side, Michael Hans and freshman Clay Pender composed half of the Bulldog distance medley relay that clocked a 10:00.98 for seventh place at the league meet. During the 2018 outdoor campaign, Jessica Drop approached her school record with the nation’s 12th-best time in 2019 (15:41.53) in the 5000m at the Mt. SAC Relays, was third in the event at the SEC Championships and advanced to the final round of the NCAA meet. Tavani took over the No. 10 spot on Georgia’s all-time top-10 list in the 10,000m thanks to her 34:56.08. In his final meet as a Bulldog, senior Jonathan Pelham nearly matched his personal record with a 9:11.59 to score in the 3000m steeplechase. As it has been for his entire tenure in Athens, the distance corps has been stellar in the classroom. The women’s cross country team (3.568) and the men (3.40) each had the second-best GPA of any UGA team of their gender in 2020. In 2019, the men and women’s cross teams posted the top GPAs at UGA for the 2019 spring semester with 3.44 and 3.38 clips, respectively. This marked a full-year sweep for the Bulldog men after they also finished at the top with a 3.49 during the fall semester. Once again, both cross teams earned USTFCCCA All-Academic Team honors for their showing in the classroom in 2019. Jessica Drop also turned his CoSIDA Academic All-District selection into SecondTeam Academic All-American honors in 2020. During the 2017 fall, Cunniff, a 1991 Bulldog graduate, led the women’s cross country teams to runner-up finishes at the SEC Championships and NCAA South Regional before taking 17th at the 2017 NCAA Championships, which marked their best finish since 2006. His then sophomore sensations, Samantha and Jessica Drop, became the first teammates to earn cross country All-America honors in the same season. Directing Georgia’s runners from 800 meters to 10,000m during the 2018 indoor and outdoor track seasons, Cunniff helped the Lady Bulldogs capture their first NCAA indoor crown and came within a point of the women’s national championship outdoors after having a scoring All-American at both meets. Cunniff led both Drops to the 2018 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Jessica

Drop was seventh in the 5000m (15:46.39) after establishing a school record of 15:38.57 earlier in the year at the Mt. SAC Relays. Also at Mt. SAC, Samantha Drop shot to No. 3 on the school’s all-time list with a 33:28.89 in the 10,000m. Lead by Bryan Kamau, the Dawgs’ men’s distance runners also had tremendous success in 2017-2018. Kamau capped his incredible Bulldog career with one of the best single years in UGA history. In cross country, Kamau posted All-Region and Second Team All-SEC finishes and then during track, he scored at the indoor SEC meet in the 3000m and anchored the third-place DMR squad. Outdoors, Kamau posted the school’s No. 2 all-time performance at 5000m (13:43.48) shot to No. 3 on the 1500 list (3:43.96). His showings included a mile performance of 4:02.42, which is faster than the indoor school record. At the 2018 SEC Indoor Championships, the Bulldog men scored at every event from 800m to 5000m, except the mile. Outdoors, the men’s distance corps had at least one NCAA Prelims qualifier in each event from 800m to 10,000m, other than the steeplechase. These performances gave Cunniff eight total participants in the meet. Indoors, Cunniff guided Jessica Drop to a fourth-place finish in the 5000m (15:53.16) to help the Lady Bulldogs secure an 11-point victory for their first national team title. Drop, whose sister Samantha redshirted the indoor campaign, set Georgia records in both the 3000m (9:11.01) and the 5000m (15:43.28) indoors. Cunniff’s crew started the school year with a stellar showing on cross country courses across the land. Led by First Team All-SEC performances by Jessica (fourth) and Samantha Drop (fifth), the Lady Bulldogs finished second at the SEC Championships held at the UGA Golf Course. Then, the Georgia women punched their first ticket to the NCAA Championships since 2012 with a runner-up finish at the NCAA South Regional. Samantha became the Lady Bulldogs’ first champion at the meet since Kristie Krueger accomplished the feat in 2010. Jessica (third), Yanely Gomez (16th) and Hailey Branch (24th) also earned All-Region honors. At the NCAA Championships, Cunniff directed his women’s team to their best finish since taking 15th in 2006 with a 17th-place finish. Samantha (30th) and her sister Jessica (31st) became the first All-Americans for Georgia in cross since 2010. Also during the cross season, Kamau completed his fall career by earning Second Team All-SEC and All-Region honors for the men. Cunniff finished the 2017 fall season by directing five Bulldogs to All-Region honors in cross, including Samantha Drop, as both squads posted top-five finishes at the NCAA South Regional. The Drop twins started their career by earning SEC All-Freshman honors during their first season in the Red and Black in 2016. As his teams have done since his arrival, the Bulldog distance corps continued to be outstanding in the classroom and community as well. Both cross teams have earned U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic Team honors all eight of his years and a combined 21 have been named All-Academic Individuals. Brandon Lord was also a 2015 Capital One Academic All-America FirstTeam member after garneringThirdTeam honors in 2014 and Samantha Drop received Academic All-District honors in her second season in 2018. The men’s cross country team has also been the Faculty Athletics Representative for having the top GPA of any UGA men’s sport four times already in Cunniff’s tenure. 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 Third Team honors. 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 800m 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 800m and qualification to the 2004 OlympicTrials. 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 10,000m. 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. *Please refer to georgiadogs.com to see the entirety of Patrick Cunniff’s bio

Pole Vault Georgia hired 1998 Southeastern Conference indoor pole vault champion and the USA Track & Field Pole Vault High Performance and Development Committee’s 2015 National Collegiate Coach of the Year, Russ Johnson, in June 2018 to coach the pole vault. After inking two of the country’s top prep vaulters, Johnson quickly set the tone at the national level for Bulldog vaulters going forward in the shortened 2020 indoor season. Julia Fixsen, a native of Shoreview, Minn., bettered her personal best to 14 feet, 7 ½ inches to earn runner-up honors at the SEC Indoor Championships. This mark ranked third in the school record books and sixth on the national list before the season was canceled prior to the 2020 NCAA Indoor Championships due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fixsen also took over the No. 2 spot for women freshmen indoors all-time with her SEC mark. Fixsen also joined teammate Kayla Smith as U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic Individuals. Smith pushed her indoor personal record to 14-4 during the regular season, which stands fourth on UGA’s all-time top-10 list and ranked 11th on the national performance list at season’s end. She concluded her season by taking fourth at the conference meet for the second straight year. Johnson’s vaulters accounted for 21 total points at the 2020 SEC indoor meet as freshman Haze Farmer was second with a 17-7 clearance. He also tied a 16-year-old school record (17-8.50) to win theTyson Invitational. Finishing just outside of the scoring eight at the meet was decathlete Johannes Erm, who matched his career best of 16-3.25 to take ninth in the open vault at SECs. Johnson helped guide Erm to win the heptathlon vault at the Razorback Invitational en route to a 2020 NCAA leading hep score of 6,114 points. In addition in the multi-events, Kyle Garland was named the SEC Freshman of the Year after winning the SEC heptathlon title (5,836 points) and improving his vault best to 15-3. The Bulldogs benefitted immediately from the addition of Johnson to the staff in 2019. Smith had a breakthrough year as she went over the bar at 14-1.75 outdoors, which ranks third in school history, battled for a fourth-place finish at the SEC meet and advanced to the NCAA Championships. Indoors, Johnson guided Smith to a personal record clearance of 13-11 and another fourth-place finish at the conference meet. Johnson was also instrumental in his work continuing the rich tradition of the Bulldog combined event student-athletes thriving. Taking second in the pole vault portion of the competition with a 16-5.25 clearance, Johannes Erm won the 2019 NCAA decathlon crown with a monstrous score of 8,352 (No. 6 all-time NCAA performer). Erm also went over the bar at 16-2.75 during the indoor regular season on the way to his second consecutive SEC heptathlon title and a fifth-place showing at Nationals. Most recently, Johnson signed a trio of prep vaulters in Nikolai Van Huyssteen (Paarl, South Africa), Payton Phillips (Carrollton, Ga.) and Grant Briscoe (Carrollton, Ga.) Johnson, a native of Carrollton himself, returned to his home state with a wealth of experiences both as a pole vault coach and athlete in the sport. He spent 12 seasons mentoring the University of Tennessee pole vaulters as a volunteer assistant where his student-athletes were perennial SEC champions and All-Americans. From 2005 to 2017, Johnson tutored 24 NCAA finalists and 12 SEC champions, at one point coaching eight consecutive SEC men’s champions. During his career, Johnson’s student-athletes have shown remarkably consistent improvement over the years, with an average height improvement of a foot and a half. He has qualified two or more vaulters to the NCAA Championships on five occasions and was set with another pair (Fixsen, Smith) before the 2020 indoor Nationals were canceled. A majority of Johnson’s athletes have set their personal bests at the SEC or NCAA championships, peaking during the all-important postseason. On two occasions, his student-athletes have been named the SEC Freshman Field Athlete of the Year (2008, 2013). Johnson coached Jake Blankenship to the 2016 NCAA outdoor title as well as to the 2015 and 2016 SEC outdoor championships. Blankenship, who was on

n i v e r s i t y

The Bowerman Watch List for being collegiate track and field’s elite performer, soared over the 19-foot barrier indoor and outdoor, placing him on the top-10 all-time NCAA lists. Blankenship won the bronze medal at the Pan Am Games and qualified for Team USA at the 2015 IAAF Outdoor World Championships in Beijing, China. Johnson, who vaulted 18-6.50 at Tennessee, was the 1998 SEC champion. He was also a First Team All-American on three occasions and competed at the USATF Championships. Johnson was a CoSIDA Academic All-American and Boyd McWhorter finalist while graduating at the top of his class in Kinesiology. He spent several years after college training with Olympians Tim Mack, Tom Pappas and Lawrence Johnson under the watchful eye of his pole vault mentor Jim Bemiller. Johnson earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree fromTennessee in Sports Medicine, then another master’s in Physical Therapy from the Medical College of Georgia. He is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and a Certified Athletic Trainer. Johnson has served as Site Manager and as a physical therapist for more than 13 years at Knoxville Orthopedic Clinic. Johnson is married to Lesly Johnson and they have two children, Lily and Levi. His wife was also a student-athlete for the Vols, earning All-American status as a sprinter and competing in the pole vault.

Ryan Ryan Grinnell was hired as an assistant coach in July 2019 after serving as an assistant coach at Grinnell Washington State since 2016. Multis, Jumps Grinnell, who competed under Kyprianou at Boise State University from 2007-08 and trained at UGA from 2010-12, is helping his former coach guide the jumpers and combined event student-athletes. As it was worldwide, the first year back in Athens for Grinnell was an interesting one. He immediately began working with Kyprianou and his crew in the summer and fall and helped 2020 Bulldog women and men work themselves up to No. 4 and No. 5 national rankings, respectively, before the indoor season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Eight individuals who Grinnell helped guide advanced to the 2020 NCAA Indoor Championships, including four freshmen, and they were all designated All-Americans following the meet’s cancellation. His crew captured a pair of Southeastern Conference individual titles (heptathlon, triple jump) and finished the shortened year ranked No. 1 (6,114 points), No. 2 (6,019) and No. 3 (5,994) in the collegiate heptathlon. Jumper Jasmine Moore experienced her first school year under the tutelage of Kyprianou and Grinnell and was a finalist for the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) National Women’s Field Athlete of the Year, earned the organization’s South Region Women’s Field Athlete of the Year honor, was named the SEC Women’s Freshman Field Athlete of the Year and finished with the country’s top triple jump (13.90 meters/45 feet, 7 ¼ inches) and nation’s fifth-best long jump (6.47m/21-2.75). Grinnell played a part in Kyle Garland earning the SEC Men’s Freshman Field Athlete of the Year and also worked on the development of 2019 NCAA decathlon champion Johannes Erm. Erm completed 2020 as the No. 11 performer on the collegiate all-time list in the heptathlon with the world’s No. 4 performance of the year (6,114). Also of note, hurdler Imani Carothers twice clocked 8.18 in the 60-meter hurdles, which ranks fourth in the school record books, and scored with a seventh-place finish at the SEC Championships. Grinnell, a native of Idaho Falls, Idaho, finished his Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Boise State in 2009 and quickly re-joined Kyprianou, who had been hired as a Georgia assistant before the 2009 season, to train professionally in the jumps. Sporting a personal record of 17.22m (56-6) in the triple jump, which ranked in the world’s top 10 in 2013, the six-time NCAA First Team All-American in the triple, long and high jump was the bronze medalist in the triple jump at the 2013 USATF Championships. Grinnell earned spots as a finalist at both the 2008 and 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials. During his undergraduate career at the University of Montana first and then Boise State, he won nine Western Athletic Conference (WAC) and six Big Sky Conference titles, was a six-time WAC high-point scorer and became the Broncos most decorated student-athlete in history. Professionally, Grinnell got his coaching start at Campbell University in 2012 and was an assistant working with the jumps, throws and combined events for two years. From there, he guided the sprinters, jumpers, vaulters and combined event student-athletes at Utah State University from 2014-16. Grinnell helped lead the Aggies to a team runner-up conference finish, an individual Mountain West Conference (MWC) title and seven NCAA Second Team All-America certificates. Grinnell spent 2016-19 coaching Washington State’s horizontal jumpers, hurdlers and combined event competitors. While in Pullman, Grinnell helped land arguably the Cougars’ top women’s recruiting class in 2019, instructed three Pac-12 champions and coached a number of team members to the NCAA West Prelims as well as the NCAA Championships. Under Grinnell’s instruction, a pair of Washington State team members earned First Team All-America certificates and another was named a Second Team All-American.

Forrest 'Spec' Towns

Forrest “Spec” Towns is the greatest track and field legend in UGA history, winning SEC, NCAA and Olympic titles, setting a world record 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 60-yard hurdles (7.3). Towns was named to the All-America Outdoor Track and Field Team in 1936 and 1937 and the All-America Indoor Track and Field Team in 1938. He led Georgia to the 1937 SEC team championship (the only one in 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. That span excludes a four-year stint in the U.S. Army, where he served his country in Africa and Europe. While he was coach, his pupils won 21 individual SEC outdoor titles and five individual SEC indoor titles. Towns also held other positions at UGA. He served as an Towns, who is the sixth person from the left standing, and his 1936 assistant football coach under teammates pose for their photo in front of Sanford Stadium during its Wally Butts from 1946-50 and was an assistant professor early stages. The team accounted for six individual SEC titles and later collected the 1937 SEC tieam title.. from 1950-75. Towns was inducted On Oct. 3, 1997, Towns was inducted into into the State of Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in the University of Georgia Athletic Association 1967 and was elected to the United States Track and Circle of Honor, the highest tribute that can Field Hall of Fame in 1975. The University’s track and be bestowed upon former Bulldog athletes or field facility was named for Towns in a dedication coaches. Towns will be forever remembered as ceremony at the 1990 SEC Outdoor Championships. a key figure in Georgia’s rich athletic history. A granite monument proclaiming Forrest Towns Track stands at the southeast entrance to the facility. On April 9, 1991, Georgia lost this great track & field ambassador when Towns passed away at age 77.

Georgia Track

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 UGA’s tury. first-ever SEC title in 1933 After 10 years in the high jump. of field days, the University participated in its first intercollegiate track contest at the 1897 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association meet in Nashville, Tenn., where Georgia accumulated 13 points to secure a fourth-place finish out of 14 teams. The school’s first dual meet came a year later against Georgia Tech with UGA taking a 75-30 victory. Regarded as track and field pioneers in the state of Georgia, The Atlanta Constitution noted in a May 26, 1894 article that “the University was much further along with their track program than any other state school.” Coaches Petros Kyprianou became the 14th head

coach of the Bulldog 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 eight years, his crew has been on a torrid pace, accumulating

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 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 dualmeet 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

n i v e r s i t y o f

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 Gwen Torrence. Facilities Five different facilities have housed Georgia’s track and field teams. Herty Field, named for Dr. Charles Herty, was the first and was also shared by the football and baseball. With the construction of Sanford Field and a track around it, the team was able to relocate for another 17 years. A new field with the same name was later constructed just 200 yards from the original Sanford Field. The second incarnation was used until World War II when the U.S. Navy came to Athens. The Navy completed a new track, described as a “million-dollar facility”, and gave it to UGA. In 1965, the track and field team found a permanent home on the southwestern corner of the athletic complex. The facility was renamed for Forrest “Spec” Towns in

SEC Commissioner’s Trophy

The SEC Commissioner’s Trophy is given annually to the male and female athletes who tally the most points at the SEC meets. Denzel Comenentia won the last two trophies for UGA at the 201819 SEC Outdoor Championships. In 2019, he won his third straight league shot put crown and was second in both the hammer throw and discus to score 26 points. Before Comenentnia, the Bulldogs most recent honorees were Patricia Sylvester and Ian Burrell. Sylvester won both the triple jump and the long jump and was the runner-up in the high jump at the 2006 SEC Outdoor Championships to rack up 28 points as her team captured the championship. She returned to score a whopping 26 points at the 2007 SEC indoor meet and was given the honor again. Burrell, standing at 5-foot-5, captured both the 3000- and 5000-meter titles on the men’s side at the 2007 SEC Outdoor Championships to pile up 20 points. Since 1933, Georgia has had 21 high-point performers, including Graham Batchelor in 1933 and ’34, Towns in 1937, Vassa Cate in 1939, and Lewis Gainey, who tied for the outdoors honors in 1965. Mel Lattany, however, had the most points ever by a Bulldog with 108.5 in four years, including 22.5 in 1981 when he won both the indoor 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 alltime points record. She also racked up 34.50 points at the outdoor meet to take home the trophy.

UGA Track & Field in the Olympics UGA Olympic Medal History

Track and field has produced some of the most memorable moments in Olympic history. The Gold Silver Bronze Total state of Georgia witnessed many such moments 3 1 1 5 when the 1996 Centennial Olympics were held in 1 1 1 3 Atlanta and surrounding cities, including Athens. Bulldog track and field was well represented 1 0 0 1 at the 2016 Games, with a program-record 12 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 team members or alumni (five men, seven women) 0 1 0 1 and two coaches participating in the Olympics. The 2016 Rio Games produced the 0 0 1 1 Bulldogs’ sixth gold medal and a series of sensational highlights. Shaunae Miller (Bahamas, 6 4 3 13 below) won a gold medal, Keturah Orji (U.S.) set an American record in the triple jump to finish fourth and high jumper Levern Spencer became the first Olympic finalist in St. Lucia history.

Shaunae Miller gave Georgia its 13th all-time medal with a photo finish at the end of the women’s 400-meter dash. The 2013 NCAA indoor 400m champion presented the Olympic Games with one of its most unforgettable finishes, stretching across the finish line to edge out American sprinter Allyson Felix at the Rio Games. Miller’s dive came after she saw a sizeable lead dwindle over the final 100 meters as she flew down the outside lane. The photo finish came as Miller won by a razor-thin margin of seven tenths of a second with a career-best time (49.44). “I don’t know what happened, my mind just went blank,” said Miller after her race. “The only thing I was thinking about was the gold medal, and the next thing I know, I was on the ground.”

While at UGA in 2013, Miller clocked what was the No. 7 all-time indoor 400m time (50.88) in collegiate track and field. She went on to set the Georgia outdoor cord in the 400m (50.77) and earned an NCAA runner-up finish for All-America honors.

J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics & UGA President Josh Brooks, J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Josh Brooks was named J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Jan. 6, 2021, after serving 11 years at UGA most recently as Interim Director of Athletics and Senior Deputy Director of Athletics. Brooks returned to UGA in 2016 as Executive Associate Director of Athletics after serving as Deputy Athletics Director at the University of Louisiana Monroe from 2015-16 and Director of Athletics at Millsaps College from 2014-15. Prior to his tenures at Millsaps and ULM, he had served in capacities at UGA as Director of Football Operations (2008-11) and Assistant and Associate Athletic Director for Internal Operations (2012-14). On January 20, 2021, Brooks pledged $100,000 to create a need-based scholarship that will support UGA students from Athens-Clarke County. His gift will create a Georgia Commitment Scholarship (GCS), adding to the more than 550 endowed, need-based scholarships created under the GCS program since its launch in January 2017. During his time at UGA, Brooks worked closely with former Director of Athletics Greg McGarity overseeing internal and external for all athletic operations. He has served as the liaison with the Office of University Architects office on all athletic construction projects and with several campus departments as well as the president’s office. His responsibilities at UGA have included overseeing the departments of facility support, graphics and design, and turf management. He has been involved in the scheduling of future football games as well as overseeing bowl game operations. In addition, his responsibilities included assisting with the development and management of facilities, new construction projects for the Athletic Association, and planning the 2013 Jason Aldean Concert in Sanford Stadium. Brooks has also served as the sport facilitator for football and men’s and women’s track and field and cross country. During his time at Millsaps, Brooks revamped the Major game-day experience. He created the kid’s zone, specialized concessions, and partnerships with youth sports leagues. Partnerships with the Jackson Public Schools, the Jackson Zoo, the National Guard and the Boy and Girl Scouts of America added to game days. This enhanced experience helped Brooks solicit over $100K in sponsorship opportunities. Brooks also established a department-wide fundraising campaign that led to a 150 percent increase in Major-Club donations. Capping off this fundraising campaign was the creation of a standalone Hall of Fame event at the Capital Club and the Mary Ann Edge Golf Tournament held at Patrick Farms golf course. The Majors also saw great athletic success in Brooks’ first year. The Majors enjoyed two SAA regular season championships, captured by the men’s soccer team and the women’s basketball team. The Millsaps’ baseball team also earned a trip to the West Regional tournament. The student-athletes also shined in the classroom in Brooks’ first year. Millsaps’ student-athletes had an overall grade-point-average of 3.0 in the 2014-15 academic year. Over 130 Majors’ earned Academic All-Conference honors. Brooks also served as director of football operations at the University of LouisianaMonroe beginning in 2004, and in 2007 ULM became bowl eligible for the first time in school history after beating Alabama. Brooks gained experience as a student at Louisiana State University, working as an equipment manager and a student assistant coach. During his four years at LSU, the Tigers participated in the 2000 Peach Bowl, 2002 Sugar Bowl, and won the 2001 Southeastern Conference championship. A native of Hammond, La., he graduated from LSU (’02) with a degree in Kinesiology and completed his Master’s degree in Sport Management from The University of Georgia (‘14).
