Woof™ For 16th Best Season in History of UGA Football #6 Final AP Poll (SEC Champs)

Still Wonderful National Champions. Georgia has won National Championships in 5 of 10 Women's Sports. Tennis, Gymnastics, Golf, Swimming, Equestrian, and now Track. Working on Basketball, Soccer, Softball, Volleyball, and Cross Country. 



EUGENE , Ore. - The Lowdown on the Georgia women's track and field national championship: Elena Kulichenko, a Ondintsovo, Russia, native, shared the national crown in 2024 but left no doubt as she claimed her first sole title in the high jump.  Coming in at 1.84 meters/6-0.50 on Saturday, Kulichenko went over five heights, including the winning mark of 1.96m/6-5, on her first try and topped Illinois' Rose Yeboah for the championship.  This is UGA's fourth national championship in the event.

 

Aaliyah Butler, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., native, collected her first individual national championship in the 400m and the second in school history (Lynna Irby, 2018).  She came in as the national leader and left with a fresh school record and became the No. 5 all-time collegiate performer.  Only one member of the field, Butler's teammate Dejanea Oakley, came within striking distance of her. Oakley, who hails from Clarendon, Jamaica, sped to her own personal record of 49.65 to earn the silver medal as Georgia tallied 18 points in the event to take control of the meet.  Oakley's time dropped Irby's previous No. 2 time in the school record books to No. 3.

 

Butler later combined with Michelle Smith, Oakley and Sydney Harris to win Georgia's first women's 4x400m relay outdoors in history.  Topping the school record and taking over the No. 8 spot on the collegiate all-time performer's list, the Bulldogs passed the baton around for a 3:23.62 to top Arkansas (3:24.25) for gold.  Butler scorched an anchor leg of 48.79 to move into the overall lead during the final 100 meters and put an exclamation mark on Georgia's point total.

 

Smith, a Frederiksted, St. Croix, native, raced in the 400m hurdle final and drove through her lap and 10 hurdles in 55.20 for bronze medal honors.  Smith added another six points to the Lady Bulldogs' total.

 

Arriving on the Oregon campus seeded 11th nationally, Skylynn Townsend, a native of Prosper, Texas, posted six fair attempts in the triple jump and topped out at a personal record to finish sixth at her first Nationals.  

 

Stephanie Ratcliffe captured Georgia's first hammer throw title since 2010. Ratcliffe, who also won the hammer title in 2023 while at Harvard, had a national-leading toss of 234 feet, two inches in the fourth round.

 

Freshman Manuela Rotundo and senior Lianna Davidson finished second and fourth in the javelin to give Georgia its first pair of scorers in the event since two Bulldogs were in the top eight in 2005. 

  

Senior Kelsie Murrell-Ross steadily improved during her series to finish sixth in the shot put, becoming the first to earn scoring All-America honors in the event for UGA since 2000.
