2022 GT Invite - Schedule

ATHENS, Ga. --- Members of Georgia's track and field teams will make the trip slightly southwest to Atlanta this week for the Georgia Tech Invitational, which runs Friday and Saturday.

The Bulldogs are traveling 50 student-athletes to the George C. Griffin Track for the second time this season. Georgia opened its outdoor campaign at the facility for the Yellow Jacket Invitational in mid March.

When Do The Dogs Start: On Friday, graduate transfer Ty Kunzman and senior Alencar Pereira start the action in the men's hammer throw at 12 p.m. with junior Ana da Silva, redshirt sophomores Elsie Igberaese and Mia Anderson and sophomore Charlotte Cattermole-Williams lining up next in the women's hammer.

Senior Imani Carothers and freshmen Bella Witt and Eddiyah Frye start the events on the track with the women's 100-meter hurdles at 5:30 p.m. on day one.

Seniors Ziggy Zoller, Alejandro Collins, Johannes Erm, Delano Dunkley, Sam Bowers, Clay Pender, Elija Godwin, Quinn Burden, juniors Gavin Beverage, Matthew Boling, Kyle Garland, Curtis Borden, Wesley John, Tyler Fox, John-Isaac Autry, Caleb Cavanaugh, sophomore Chase Condra and freshmen Noah Hayes, Cooper Bocko, Davis Potts, Cole Heron, Grant Briscoe, Bryce McCray, Seth White and Karthik Kochuparambil complete the men's contingent slated to compete.

No Honors This Week But…: While the Bulldogs did not win any of the weekly league or national awards this week following the Tom Jones Memorial thanks to collegiate records set elsewhere, there were a number of exceptional Bulldog performances in Gainesville, Fla., last weekend including:

Da Silva launched her third attempt in the shot put a school record distance of 17.56 meters/57 feet, 7 ½ inches to win. This puts her as the SEC leader and fifth nationally.
Kulichenko and Drake matched each other with 1.86m/6-1.25 marks in the high jump Invitational to finish second and third, respectively. These marks stand eighth in the school record books and fifth nationally.
Boling rocketed to a wind-legal personal best of 9.98 to set a school record in the 100m and win the event. He has the fastest wind legal time in the nation this year (second fastest overall).
Boling returned with Cavanaugh, McCray and Godwin in the 4x400m relay and set a school record with a 3:02.10 for third place overall. This time ranks third nationally.
Carbin, competing in his first meet in a year, cleared 2.21m/7-3 in the high jump to earn runner-up honors, tie his No. 10 spot in the school record books and equal the nation's fifth-best effort this season.

Last Time At GT: Georgia took a group to the Georgia Tech campus on March 18-19 for the Yellow Jacket Invite. There were a number of notable showings in the opener including:

Davis made her Lady Bulldog debut with a win in the 200m thanks to a 23.23, which ranks eight in the school record books and is the third-fastest time for a freshman nationally this season (No. 32 overall).
Da Silva started her career in red and black by watching the then second-longest shot put toss in school history (16.70m/54-9.50) sail to win. The Brazilian native also let go of the seventh-longest hammer throw in school history (62.92m/206-5) to sweep the two throws.

Glimpse At Where This Season Will Take The Dogs: The Georgia Tech Invitational marks the sixth of seven scheduled regular season outdoor meet weekends through the end of April. The fifth-annual Torrin Lawrence Memorial (April 29-30) in Athens on the Spec Towns Track will conclude the regular season next weekend.

The SEC Championships will arrive on May 12-14 in Oxford, Miss., with the NCAA East Prelims scheduled for May 25-28 in Bloomington, Ind. The 2022 NCAA Championships are in Eugene, Ore., on June 8-11.
