CLEMSON, S.C./ BOSTON — Georgia track & field splits for Clemson's Tiger Paw Invite and Boston's David Hemery Valentine Invite both held Feb. 13th-14th.
The Bulldogs are coming off a bye week, two weeks prior at Arkansas' Razorback Invitational Georgia nabbed 11 top-25 marks bringing the Bulldog's total to 33 top-25 current NCAA marks and times.
Georgia also collected a pair of freshmen SEC weekly honors by Adaejah Hodge and Jonathan Simms. Both freshmen hold 2026 NCAA leads, Simms in the men's 400 meter and Hodge in the women's 60 meter dash.
The action at the Tiger Paw invite begins in the field with senior Ella Rush and freshman Ava Kitchings and Chelsi Williams in the women's long jump. Next the track events start up with the women's 60 meter hurdles.
Meanwhile, action in Boston will begin at 4:45 p.m. with the freshman Kristers Kudlis and graduate transfer Oliver Smart in men's 3000 meter race

Coach Caryl's Comments: "We are excited to return to meet action in a familiar venue at Clemson after training through last weekend. We are now a month into the season and we will see marked improvements from when we competed on this same track to start the year. The indoor season passes in a flash and we have to take advantage of every competition opportunity. The SEC Championships are not some far out date where we have plenty of opportunities to qualify and better our marks… it's this month! So I have high expectations for what this weekend's progress report will bring. GO DAWGS!"
Smith Gilbert also commented on her distance corps headed to Boston.
"We were encouraged about this bunch during the fall cross season and now I am looking forward to seeing our training pay off on the track. We are taking 10 individuals this weekend to race against some top competition, competition that wil give us a better idea of where we are. Strong showings now will also pay dividends when the outdoor season arrives."
