2022 Razorback Invite - Full Results

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. --- The Georgia track and field's 4x400-meter relay set a school record with the country's fastest time this year to finish the Razorback Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., on Saturday.

Matthew Boling, Caleb Cavanaugh, Bryce McCray and Elija Godwin combined to pass the baton for the fastest time in school history of 3:04.07 to win one of the meet's final event.  This dropped Georgia's 4x4 time of 3:04.72 from 2021 to No. 2 on the school's all-time list.  The group's time on Saturday was the national leader coming into the weekend and moves the Bulldogs to No. 10 on the all-time collegiate performer list.  Boling's opening leg of 45.33 was the race's third fastest and put in Georgia in position to win.

Coach's Comments: "Our teams did not disappoint on a fast track versus some of the country's best this weekend at the Razorback Invitational," said head coach Caryl Smith Gilbert.  "We have more in the tank and more goals to reach, but this was a great launching point in anticipation for the postseason. Looking forward to training consistently through next weekend before we return to action but I love our energy and I am confident in the direction all of our student-athletes are moving in."
