ATHENS, Ga. --- Junior Matthew Boling won his second consecutive event and junior transfer Ana da Silva launched the second-longest shot put attempt in school history to wrap up the Clemson Invitational on Saturday.
Boling, a Houston, Texas, native, answered his performance in the long jump on Friday with a victory in the 200-meter dash in Saturday's action. Da Silva, who hails from Ribeirao Das Neves, Brazil, posted three separate throws of at least 15.84 meters (52 feet) and bested her nearest competitor by a foot and a half.

Coach Caryl's Comments: "I thought we had a successful season debut both on the track and in the field," said Smith Gilbert. "A variety of veterans picked up just where they left off and a number of freshmen jumpstarted great careers. Looking forward next weekend to continue our progress."
A night after crushing his own school record in the long jump, junior Matthew Boling approached his No. 1 time in the 200m to cruise to a victory. He ran a 20.49 to take over the country's top spot in the event this season. Also in the 200m, senior Elija Godwin improved his No. 4 mark in the school record books in the 200m with a 20.97 for fourth.
Junior transfer Ana da Silva quickly rocketed to No. 2 in the UGA record books in the shot put after her second shot put toss measured 16.53m (54-2.75). The country's seventh-best mark this year was the best for the Lady Bulldogs since the school record (55-10.5) in 2013.
Another newcomer, true freshman Kenondra Davis, finished third in the 200m with the best time for the Georgia women since 2018. Davis' finish of 23.62 is the sixth-fastest time on Georgia's all-time top-10 list.
Making her collegiate debut in the high jump was freshman Elena Kulichenko. The Odintsovo, Russia, native went over the bar at 5-10.50 on her second try to be the top collegiate finisher and second overall.
Senior Titiana Marsh started her final year in the triple jump with the top mark of her career. She soared 13.56m (44-6) on her third attempt to take second. This vaulted her from No. 5 to No. 4 on the school's all-time list with the second-best mark in the NCAA this year.
In addition, junior Sam Bowers earned second-place honors in the 3000m with an 8:14.66.
Up Next: The Bulldogs travel to Birmingham, Ala., for the Samford Invite on Friday, Jan. 21.
