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

EUGENE , Ore. - Aaliyah Butler already had the two big things she wanted at last week's NCAA Women's Outdoor Track & Field Championships, the individual 400-meter national title and the team title for the Georgia women. The last prize, in the event's final race Saturday night, she wanted that for her 4x400 relay teammates. The Bulldogs had an insurmountable lead in the team competition heading into the final relay at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., and Georgia's 4x400 quartet of Butler, Michelle Smith, Dejanea Oakley and Sydney Harris could have taken four victory laps. Instead, the four sprinted their way to another national championship with a time of 3:23.62. Butler entered Saturday's individual 400 final as the favorite, having posted the fastest time in the country this spring. In fact, heading into the final, she was the only woman to break 50 seconds this year. She was soon joined by a teammate in the sub-50 category.
Butler won the 400 title by lowering her school record to 49.26, and Oakley took second place with a time of 49.65. Between the two of them, they have the five fastest 400 times in the country this year and seven of the top 10.

Georgia's track national championship was the athletic department's fourth in 2025. The women's tennis team won the ITA National Indoor Championships in February and followed that with a dominating run through the NCAA tournament in May. In April, Georgia's equestrian team also captured the program's eighth NCEA national championship. The four team titles won in 2025 match the bountiful spring of 1999, when women's swimming, gymnastics, men's golf and men's tennis all won NCAA championships. Overall, Georgia has now won 52 team national championships, tied for second in SEC history. Texas is #1. Georgia and Arkansas are tied #2. Georgia has won 33 NCAA Championships and 19 Non NCAA Championships.
