ATHENS, Ga. —  Georgia took control of the national lead in the men's 4x400-meter relay as well as the high jump and twice surpassed the school record in the 110m hurdles as the Spec Towns Invitational wrapped up Saturday. This weekend marked the first meet for the Bulldogs at the Spec Towns Track at the newly completed UGA Track & Field Complex on South Milledge. Georgia had sensational moments both on the track and in the field on the final day of the three-day meet under cloudless skies:

Freshman Le'Ezra Brown registered his second school record of the day with a 13.22 to win the 110m hurdles.  Sophomore Jayden Keys was the runner-up in the prelims with a personal best 13.63, inching up his No. 5 time on UGA's all-time top 10 list, before taking second in the final (13.76). Xai Ricks, Sidi Njie, Jonathan Simms and Mohamed Adoini took the track in the men's 4x400m relay and left with a national leading finish.  Junior high jumper Kimani Jack moved into a tie at No. 8 on UGA's all-time top 10 list thanks to a first attempt clearance at 2.24m/7-4.25.  This not only won him the meet, but he surged him into the top spot on the country's performance list for 2026.  In addition, Riyon Rankin also moved into the top 10 nationally with a third attempt clearance at 2.16m/7-1. Freshman Maddi Cooper was the top collegiate finisher (second overall) in the 100m hurdle final after clocking a 13.43 while Zoe Ziglor took third (13.57).  Taylor Cox broke into the all-time top 10 list with her personal record 13.23 to take third overall in the opening round before taking a fall in the final. Cooper led off the women's 4x100m and the final three Lady Bulldogs – Lisa Raye, Sanaa Frederick and Celeste Robinson – combined to win with a 43.87. Moving into the No. 9 spot last week, Vimbayi Maisvorewa shaved .05 off her season best time with a 51.66 to win the 400m.  Sole Frederick earned third-place honors with a 51.97 in the event. The Lady Bulldogs went 1-2-3 in the 100m, led by senior Kaila Jackson's 11.03.  Jackson's time ranks No. 4 on the 2026 national list and puts her in position to attempt to claim yet another First Team All-America certificate when the season concludes.  Reign Redmond (11.37 – 11.368) and Ava Kitchings (11.37 – 11.373) claimed the second and third spots, respectively, and moved into a time for 10th in the school record books. Georgia had the top two collegiate finishers in the women's 4x400m relay (first and third overall) with a pair of top 10 times in the UGA record books.  Maisvorewa, Michelle Smith, Shaquena Foote and Dejanea Oakley combined to record the No. 3 time in school history with a 3:24.29.  Skylynn Townsend started her triple jump series with a foul and responded with a winning mark of 13.57m/44-6.25. On the men's side, freshman Marcus Eklund had a season best (15.11m/49-7) to finish first in the triple jump.

Kyle Garland, the former Georgia combined-events star and a two-time World Championships bronze medalist, has thrown the shot put at the best venues in the United States and many others around the world. On Saturday, during the Spec Towns Invitational at the new UGA Track & Field Complex, he got to compete in the Bulldogs' spectacular arena for the first time. "Man, there's nothing like it," he said. "This is easily the best throwing facility in the world." With the amphitheater seating surrounding the throwing area, which puts fans close to the action, there isn't a bad seat in the house. 



And the throwers like it, often encouraging the fans to clap their hands and make a lot of noise as the competitors spin in the throwing ring and heave the heavy metal ball.
