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

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

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

Smith Gilbert directed the men to a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Championships during

a campaign that was driven by her sprints corps. Following the collegiate season, Smith Gilbert continued to work with Elija Godwin as he registered gold and bronze medals in the men’s 4x400m relay and the mixed 4x400m relay, respectively, at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Ore. Smith Gilbert extended her instruction with the Bulldogs’ talented duo of Boling and Godwin as the pair hit a level of success new to the Georgia program. Boling established school records in the 100m (9.98, No. 5 nationally) and 200m (19.92, No. 3 nationally), collected SEC titles in both the 60m and outdoor 200m and finished as a national scorer in the 60m and 100m as well as becoming a top eight finisher in the 200m indoors and outdoors nationally. Smith Gilbert’s leadership of Godwin was just as apparent as he posted his best finish at the SEC Championships of runner-up before earning a bronze medal nationally in the 400m with a then school record 44.50. Boling and Godwin were also two legs on the indoor 4x400m relay team that captured the 2022 SEC title for the first time in school history.

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

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

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

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

Smith Gilbert spent eight seasons (201421) as the Director of Track and Field at USC,

4

building the program into a national powerhouse. She guided the women’s team to a 2018 NCAA Outdoor National Championship, earning the U.S.Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Women’s (USTFCCCA) National Coach of the Year honor and being named the USATF Nike Coach of the Year.

That same season, the Trojans’ men’s squad finished second at the NCAA Indoor Championships. In 2021, Smith Gilbert again garnered National Coach of the Year honors after her women’s team earned a spot at the top of the podium and her men’s team was fifth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

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

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

USC’s 2018 NCAA outdoor championships was just the second women’s title in program history.

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

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

Prior to her time with theTrojans, Smith Gilbert was a six-time Conference USA Coach of the Year at the University of Central Florida. She guided the Knights’ women’s team to a program-best fifth-place finish at the 2013 NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships.

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

Smith Gilbert spent five seasons (2003-07) as an assistant coach at Tennessee, where she was responsible for coaching sprints, hurdles and jumps. Her Lady Vol athletes won three NCAA titles and seven Southeastern Conference crowns. In 2005, Tennessee won its first NCAA indoor championship as her athletes combined for 24 All-America honors.

Smith Gilbert was an assistant coach at Alabama for three years (2000-02) and an assistant at Penn State from 1998-99.

Prior to her career in the collegiate ranks,

5

the Denver, Colo. native was the head coach at her prep alma mater, George Washington High, from 1994-97. In addition to her experience at the high school and collegiate levels, Smith Gilbert was an assistant with Team USA and was invited to coach the 2005 Pan Am Junior Championships. She was also selected to serve as an assistant coach for the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Japan.

Smith Gilbert is a 1991 graduate of UCLA, where she was a three-time All-American and Pac-10 champion in the 100m, 4x100m relay and the 4x400m relay. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Film and Television Production from UCLA and earned Master’s degrees in Sport Management and Sport Psychology from the University of Tennessee.

Smith Gilbert is married to former University of Alabama standout and NFL linebacker Greg Gilbert. They have three sons: Alex, Spencer and Osiris.

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 27th year in red and black and in his 39th year overall coaching, Don Babbitt has transformed the Georgia throws program into arguably the most continually talented group in the country. And along a total of 30 NCAA champions and 144 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 15 times, including two national team titles and a pair of runner-up finishes.

Most recently, Babbitt’s throwers earned four All-America certificates, broke two school record and captured the 2022 women’s SEC outdoor shot put title. Competing for the first time in the red and black, shot putter Ana da Silva worked up to a school record of 17.52 meters/57 feet, 5 ¾ inches, which ranked ninth nationally, for bronze honors at the SEC Championships.

The Brazil native answered that performance with a FirstTeam All-America showing at Nationals after finishing seventh. Outdoors, da Silva launched the longest toss of her career for a school record (18.46/60-6.75) on her sixth and final toss to secure the Lady Bulldogs their first SEC shot put title since 2000. She went on to win the Brazilian National Championships and competed at the 2022 World Championships. Da Silva was one of a number of competitors who experienced success under Babbitt’s tutelage in 2022. Alencar Pereira earned SEC runner-up honors in the hammer throw after building to a PR of 70.74/232-1 during the regular season finale and qualified for Nationals for the second year in a row. Pereira’s year began with establishing a fresh career best in the weight throw (21.30/69-10.75) indoors. Another second-place finish at SECs came from Ahmed Magour in the javelin after the Qatar native acquired the fifth-longest throw in Bulldog history (74.40/244-1). He returned to score at his first NCAA Championships.

In addition, Gavin Beverage eclipsed 61 feet outdoors in the shot put to earn a spot on the school’s all-time list and qualify for the NCAA Prelims.

Elsie Igberaese, Mia Anderson and Julia Harisay also all tallied a combo of personal bests in the weight throw, shot put, hammer, discus and javelin.

In 2021, Babbitt wrapped up the collegiate development of javelin standout Marie-Therese Obst as she won seven meets in her final campaign, including capturing the 2021 SEC and NCAA titles. Obst topped out at a school record 61.37 meters (201 feet, 4 inches) in her final home meet at the Spec Towns Invitational and ended as the NCAA’s No. 4 all-time collegiate performer.

Babbitt concluded coaching one of the Bulldogs’ all-time greats, Denzel Comenentia, in 2019. Comenentia finished his UGA career as a 13-time First Team All-American, eight-time SEC individual champion, two-time NCAA individual champion and the Amsterdam native accomplished a feat in 2019 that had never been conquered in history. Comenentia balanced a trio of events at the NCAA Championships and scored in all three, including a

runner-up finish in the shot put (20.77m, 68-1.75) and fifth-place showings in both the discus (a personal record of 59.97m, 196-9) and the hammer throw (72.93m, 293-3). Following Babbitt’s leadership, Comenentia was named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Co-South Region Men’s Field Athlete of the Year outdoors for the second straight year. He also captured the SEC Commissioner’sTrophy for the second year in a row as the league’s high scorer at the conference meet thanks to his third shot put title in a row and second-place finishes in both the discus and hammer. His personal bests from his final outdoor campaign featured a hammer mark of 76.80m (252-0, No. 10 all-time collegiate performer, longest NCAA mark in 2019, Dutch national record), a shot put effort of 20.78m (68-2.25, No. 5 on 2019 NCAA list) and a personal-best discus mark that finished No. 2 on Georgia’s all-time list.

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

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

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

Under Babbitt’s guidance since 1996, Georgia’s throwers have reached a high level of success. The Bulldog throwers have captured 15 NCAA titles, earned 105 All-American certificates and won 61 SEC titles since Babbitt arrived in Athens.

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

Babbitt’s success at the international level is also highlighted below: 58 athletes who have competed at the Olympic Games/World Championships His throwers have captured 24 medals in international competition His throwers have won 20 titles at the USA Championships Eight NCAA titles, 59 All-American honors and 29 SEC crowns during the last 16 seasons further solidified Babbitt’s hold as one of the world’s premier throws coaches. The trend became even more evident as the native of Santa Monica, Calif., led freshman Freya Jones to the 2013 NCAA javelin title and four other throwers to All-America honors that year. In 2014, his throwers swept the SEC hammer throw titles (first time the Bulldogs

6

have won both since 2001; UGA accomplished the feat again in 2017) and added six more All-America certificates, including three top-six national finishes in the men’s hammer, men’s shot put and women’s javelin. Alex Poursanidis won his second consecutive SEC hammer championship in 2015 and Ashinia Miler topped a 20-year-old school record in the indoor shot put (20.31m, 66-7.75) as Babbitt’s corps picked up another pair of First Team All-America honors at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. When 2016 had come and gone, Babbitt had directed then freshman Comenentia to First Team All-America honors in the indoor shot put and Ashinia Miller to a sweep of the SEC shot put titles.

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

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

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

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

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

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

An avid writer and clinician, Babbitt has written over 82 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

7

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 competed on Princeton’s track and field team and is now a graduate transfer for the Bulldogs in 2021. Julia reached 52.03/170-8 for fourth place at her first SEC Championships in 2022 and rocketed to sixth on the school’s all-time list.

James Thomas was named an assistant coach for jumps and combined events by Bulldog Director of Track and Field Caryl Smith Gilbert in June 2021. During the 2022 summer, Thomas was elevated to associate head coach following his first year at Georgia.

Thomas made an immediate impact in Athens in both the jumps and multi-events. Coming into the season with an 8,196 personal best, Kyle Garland obliterated the collegiate decathlon record with 8,720 points (No. 8 all-time American performer) to finish third at the USATF Championships and qualify for the World Athletics Championships. Garland, who put himself fifth on the school’s all-time top-10 list in the 110-meter hurdles (13.71) at the meet and seventh in the long jump (7.86 meters/25 feet, 9 ½ inches) at the USATF meet, managed a third-place finish at the NCAA Championships with an 8,333 tally.

Teammate Johannes Erm won his first SEC decathlon title while Garland was recovering from the USATF meet. Erm and Garland went on to compete at the Worlds with Erm finishing ninth (8,227 points) for his native Estonia and Garland taking 11th (8,133) for Team USA. Indoors, it was Garland who captured the SEC heptathlon crown, his third straight, with 6,205 points to become the No. 5 all-time colle-

giate performer and move to No. 2 in the school record books. Garland scored 6,200 a second time for runner-up honors at Nationals. His 7.86 in the 110m hurdles and 2.18m/7-1.75 in the high jump rank fourth and 10th, respectively, on UGA’s all-time top-10 lists.

Thomas’ jumpers also hit exceptional levels during his first season guiding them. Sixth-year senior Darius Carbin tied a 37-year-old school record with a 2.30m/7-6.50 high jump clearance (tied for NCAA’s top mark in 2022) at Georgia’s home meet before collecting the first SEC title of his career. Carbin went on to post the top finish for a Bulldog men’s high jumper in history at the NCAA meet, taking second (2.24m/74.25), and qualified for and competed at Worlds after taking fourth at the USATF Championships.

The Lady Bulldogs also thrived in year one under Thomas’ tutelage with a pair of First Team All-America certificates and three improvements in the school record books. First-year high jumper Elena Kulichenko swept the SEC Freshman Field Athlete of the Year honors indoors and outdoors after taking fourth at both conference meets and finishing eighth at the NCAA Indoor Championships. She reached 6 feet during both seasons, topping out at 1.87m/6-1.50 (No. 7 on UGA all-time top-10 list) during Georgia’s home meet. In addition, graduate transfer Jamari Drake built to a mark of 1.86m/6-1.25 and was an NCAA competitor in her final season while three-year graduate Shelby Tyler scored at both the SEC indoor and outdoor meets.

In the horizontal jumps, Thomas continued to develop Titiana Marsh as she scored in the triple and long jumps at both SEC indoor and outdoor meets. Marsh earned bronze medal honors in the triple at the SEC Outdoor Championships with a season-best mark of 13.60m/447.50 before battling for fifth at Nationals (13.55m/44-5.50). Indoors, she advanced to the NCAA Championships again in both the long and triple jumps and had a pair of fourth-place finishes at the league meet.

True freshman pole vaulter Nikolai van Huyssteen also thrived in his first year with Thomas. Van Huyssteen scored at the SEC Indoor Championships and quickly moved to No. 6 on Georgia’s all-time top-10 lists with a regular season clearance of 5.20m/17-0.75.

Thomas, a native of Katy, Texas, graduated from Sam Houston State University and then earned his Master’s of Science in Health and Human Performance (Athletic Administration) at Texas A&M University-Commerce. He came to the University of Georgia after spending nine seasons in a similar role at Texas Tech. Thomas was a 10-time U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Mountain Region Assistant of the Year while with the Red Raiders.

In 2021, he led junior Ruth Usoro to sweep the NCAA indoor and outdoor triple jump titles and also score in both long jumps nationally while also having another pair of scoring All-Americans in the jumps.

Thomas joined Texas Tech in 2012 and redefined success as the head of the men’s and women’s jumps and combined events groups.

A veteran coach of nearly 20 years, Thomas was the catalyst to some of the most significant student-athlete development and achievements Texas Tech and the NCAA have ever seen. Thomas’ athletes amassed eight NCAA individual titles, 91 NCAA All-American honors, 29 Big 12 champions and nearly every top-10 performance in Red Raider history.

Thomas’ culminating moment was in 2019 when he helped lead the Texas Tech men’s program to their first ever NCAA outdoor team championship in Austin,Texas. This was a year that was built on a fourth straight Big 12 Championship, 11 NCAA All-Americans and four Big-12 champions. While the men were hoisting the team title, Zarriea Willis staked her claim in NCAA history by completing an indoor/outdoor sweep of the women’s high jump.

The success goes well beyond 2019. In total, Thomas has been instrumental in five Big 12 Team Championships, eight NCAA Top-10 team finishes and four NCAA Top-5 team finishes. Many of his student-athletes have earned the opportunity to travel the world while representingTexasTech, their country and professional brands at many international championships. Thomas’ influence has also extended beyond the athlete as a current Masters Endorsement Instructor with USTFCCCA, and a prominent clinician throughout the world.

James is married to Ebony Thomas, and they have two sons, Jordan and Jameson Thomas.

Patrick Henner was hired as Georgia’s cross country head coach and an assistant track and field coach in June 2022.

Henner began his first season as the Bulldogs distance coach two months after arriving in Athens and quickly collected his first All-Region competitor in cross. Sam Bowers was 20th at the 2022 NCAA South Regional and was the team’s top finisher at four of six meets during his first season under Henner. While Chase Condra was Georgia’s first across the finish line at the SEC Championships, Henner continued the development of a host of underclassmen Bulldogs. On the women’s side, Henner’s corps had four different top finishers as he welcomed nine new runners into the mix.

Henner came to Athens after coaching Arizona State’s distance corps for two years. Prior to his stop in Tempe, Henner had a threeyear stay at the University of Southern California under now Bulldog head coach Caryl Smith Gilbert.

Henner guided Sun Devil freshman Dayton Carlson to finish sixth in the 800m at the NCAA Outdoor Championships final with a personal record 1:46.72. Carlson arrived at Arizona State with an 800m personal best of 1:51.71. In addition, Arizona State’s Vincent Mauri finished 18th at Nationals. Henner directed Mauri to personal bests of 1:49.40 and 13:39.13 as well as All-America Honorable Mention honors in 2022.

Year one of Henner’s tenure with the Sun Devils saw him push Mauri to a new level. The freshman set new personal records in the 8K, mile and 1500m. Mauri was ASU’s top finisher at the Pac-12 Cross

9

Country Championships where he took 22nd in 23:35.3. The freshman then went on to run 3:41.22 in the 1500m at the NCAA West Prelims where he took 15th, just missing the outdoor championships. Henner’s runners also recorded three new all-time top-10 entries.

In three years with the Trojans, Henner brought in two recruiting classes and helped almost every cross country runner set their personal bests in the 6K. In his two seasons working with the distance athletes, runners Robert Ford and Isaiah Jewett won consecutive Pac-12 men’s 800m titles, and he placed two male and female runners into USC’s all-time top 10 in the event. Jewett claimed the Pac-12 title and All-America honors in the 800m during the 2019 spring season, and he also set USC’s 800m indoor record.

At the 2019 USATF Championships, Jewett finished fifth in the 800m, missing a spot on Team USA for the World Championships by only .3. Jewett went undefeated in the 400m and 800m indoors in 2019-20 and was a favorite to win the national title in the 800m prior to the 2020 COVID cancellation.

Under Henner’s guidance, Nicolaus Jakowec set the school indoor 3000m record, and Jemima Russell set the freshman record for the 800m. Henner also helped numerous Trojans crack the program’s indoor and outdoor all-time lists.

Prior to USC, Henner was the director of track and field and cross country at Georgetown from 2007-15, and prior to that he had spent eight seasons as the Hoyas’ head men’s cross country coach and assistant coach for the men’s and women’s track and field team.

Henner’s coaching resumé also includes a nine year stay at James Madison where he led both the men’s and women’s cross country teams to their first CAA titles, trained 28 track and field All-Americans and was twice named CAA Coach of the Year. He began his coaching career at Blacksburg High in Blacksburg, Va., where both the men’s and women’s teams won state championships in 1984, 1985 and 1986.

Devin West was named an assistant coach for sprints and hurdles at Georgia in July 2021 by Director of Track and Field Caryl Smith Gilbert, giving West a second stint with the Bulldogs.

During the 2022 season, West helped guide Elija Godwin to yet another tier of success. Godwin posted his best finish in the 400-meter dash at the SEC Outdoor Championships with a runner-up showing before earning a bronze medal at the NCAA Championships with a then school record 44.50. Indoors, West assisted in helping Godwin to the country’s fourth-best 400m time (45.38) of 2022.

West also worked with the Bulldog relays as the units set the outdoor 4x400m relay record (3:02.10) and toppled the indoor 4x400m mark (3:02.59).

Godwin continued his success in the collegiate postseason as he re-set his own school record in the 400m with a 44.34 for fourth at the USATF Championships. He was selected to run on both the men’s Team USA 4x400m and mixed 4x400m relays at the World Athletics Championships where he collected a gold (2:56.17) and a bronze (3:10:16) medal, respectively, along with his relay mates.

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

In addition, West played a key role in Caleb Cavanaugh becoming an NCAA semifinalist after clocking the school’s fourth-best 400m hurdle time in history (49.59) and taking fourth at SECs. Cavanaugh’s training partner, freshman Bryce McCray, also scored at the conference meet with the sixth-best time in UGA history (50.21).

West, a native of Berkeley, Calif., spent 2015-17 at Georgia as the recruiting coordinator and sprints assistant and arrived back in Athens during the 2021 summer after overseeing the sprints and hurdles program at Air Force for the 2020-21 academic year. Starting his collegiate athletic career on both the football and track teams at St. Mary’s College and then graduating from in-state Kennesaw State University, West has both recruited and coached some of the country’s best during stints at several Power 5 programs. He has signed and instructed a variety of Olympians, All-Americans, NCAA champions, conference champions and school record holders during his stops at Texas, Florida State, Arizona State, Miami, Texas Tech and others.

In 2021, West guided Michelle Roca to an Academy record of 1:00.01 in the 400-meter hurdles. In fact, Air Force completed 2021 with 11 improvements to the school’s all-time record books in the sprints, hurdles and relays. West returned to the Academy coaching staff in August 2020 to begin his second stint as an assistant coach for the Falcons. West, who previously served as an assistant coach on the Falcons’ 2010-11 staff, brought a wealth of experience back to the Air Force sprints and hurdles program, following coaching stints at several Power 5 programs.

Air Force thrived under West during his first stop in 2010-11. The men’s 4x400m indoor relay of Manny Smith, Anthony Delgado, Cory Engel and Chris Severino bought home the program’s first-ever Mountain West title in that event,

while Bryce Bergman accounted for the Academy’s first conference championship in the 400m hurdles. Under his guidance, the Falcons also claimed four all-Mountain West accolades and made seven improvements to the Academy’s all-time standings, including 400m hurdle times by Emily Cotharn and Rachel Thomas that were previously the two fastest marks in program history.

Throughout his 13-year career, West has assisted with the coaching of six Olympians, 32 All-Americans, one NCAA champion, 39 conference champions and 71 school record-holders.

After leaving the Academy in 2011, West gained experience at several of the nation’s major Power 5 programs, where he developed a reputation as one of the best recruiters in the sport. He signed five No. 1-ranked U.S. High School student-athletes and three No. 1-ranked World Junior student-athletes, while also accounting for four Top-10 recruiting classes (Georgia, Texas Tech, Miami and Florida State).

During his most recent stint at Texas, West assisted head coach Edrick Floreal in coaching the men’s and women’s sprints and hurdles program – a group that included two program record holders (Jonathon Jones in the 400m, Micaiah Harris in the 200m) and 10 All-Americans. He also saw both the men and women place within the top 10 of the 2019 NCAA Outdoor Championships and the women’s team sweep the indoor and outdoor titles at the Big 12 Championships that year. In addition, West also assisted Floreal in coaching the 2019 USA Track and Field 100m champion, Teahna Daniels.

Prior to his time in Austin, West served as an associate head coach at Arizona State University in 2018. During his stop with the Sun Devils, he helped Alethia Marrero run the second-fastest 800m time in ASU history, finish second at the PAC-12 Championships and earn second-team All-America honors. With West on the staff, Arizona State’s women finished the year ranked No. 12 in the USTFCCCA Top 25 and had a ninth-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

As previously mentioned, West spent two years as the recruiting coordinator and sprints coach for the Bulldogs (2015-17), where he was part of some of the most successful seasons for the women in school history. The Bulldogs finished a program-best second at the both the indoor and outdoor championships in 2017, after finishing third at both meets during his first season. He also assisted in the coaching of breakout sophomore Kendal Williams, who earned first-team All-America honors in the 60m, and oversaw a men’s sprint squad that tallied more than one-third of Georgia’s point total at the SEC Outdoor Championships.

West also spent time on the coaching staffs at Texas Tech University (201415), the University of Miami (2013-14) and Florida State University (2011-13).

During his one season with the Red Raiders, he helped the men finish second at the Big 12 Championships and ninth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, while the women finished third at the conference meet and earned a top-20 finish at the national meet. While at Miami, West coached the men’s 4x100m relay to its first regional appearance in four years and helped Artie Burns (currently with the Chicago Bears) win the ACC title and claim second-team All-America honors in the 60m hurdles. In his time with the Seminoles, he assisted the men’s 4x100m relay team to All-America honors and helped Dentarius Locke and James Harris claim berths to the NCAA Championships.

West got his collegiate coaching start at Kennesaw State in 2007, and was a catalyst for the Owls’ dominant run that included four Atlantic Sun Conference titles.

His accomplishments in the college ranks make up just some of the successes of his coaching career. West made a name for himself on the high school and international levels as well, coaching nine Georgia state meet finalists while working as an assistant at Norcross High School. He also sent an athlete to the IAAF World Junior Championships in the 100m hurdles in 2010, while coaching a 100m athlete to the USTF Junior Championships in 2009.

After competing for a pair of teams at St. Mary’s College, he transferred to Morehouse College in Atlanta. West received his degree in interdisciplinary studies from Kennesaw State, while coaching the Owls in 2010. He is also certified as a Level I coach with USA Track and Field.

He married Carley Faith Dart in August 2020.

Deanna Hill

Deanna Hill was hired as an assistant Assistant Coach coach for Georgia’s sprinters and hurdlers in July 2021, soon after her former head coach at South- (Sprints, Hurdles) ern California, Caryl Smith Gilbert, accepted the Director of Track & Field position with the Bulldogs.

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

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

Godwin continued his success in the collegiate postseason as he re-set his own school record in the 400m with a 44.34 for fourth at the USATF Championships. He was selected to run on both the men’s Team USA 4x400m and mixed 4x400m relays at the World Athletics Championships where he collected a gold and a bronze medal, respectively. Godwin’s splits on his opening legs were 44.89, 44.71, 44.46 and 44.28.

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

First-year sprinter Kenondra Davis also finished with the fourth-best indoor 200m time in school history (23.33) and the eighth-best outdoor finish (23.23).

Also on the women’s side, fellow freshman Eddiyah Frye qualified for the World Under-20 Championships thanks to her runner-up finish in the 100m hurdles at the USATF Championships with a time of 13.26, which stands eighth in the school record books. Indoors, Frye sped to an 8.23 in the 60m hurdles to move to No. 5 on UGA’s all-time top-10 list.

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

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

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 (record stood for 14 years).

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

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 Towns, who is the sixth person from the left standing, and his 1936 titles. Towns also held other teammates pose for their photo in front of Sanford Stadium during its positions at UGA. He served as an assistant football coach early stages.

Georgia Track and Field History

T

The Beginning

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

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

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

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

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

Coaches

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

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

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

titles at the 1984 outdoor meet to win the trophy with 27.5 points.

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

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 a dedication ceremony held during the 1990 SEC Outdoor Championships in Athens. Towns passed away a year later, but a granite marker honoring him stands at the southeast entrance to the facility he helped make possible.

SEC Commissioner’s Trophy

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

Denzel Comenentia won the last two trophies for UGA at the 2018-19 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 Denzel Comenentia not only won back-to-back Commissioner’s Trophies, Lattany, however, had the most points ever by a Bulldog with 108.5 but his heroics also enabled to the Bulldogs to clinch their first NCAA in four years, including 22.5 in 1981 when he won both the indoor team title at the 2018 outdoor Nationals. and outdoor awards. Lester Benjamin took the long and triple jump

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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