EUGENE, Ore. - Powered by a pair of collegiate records, the Lady Bulldogs scored 50 points to win their second consecutive outdoor title to wrap up the NCAA Championships Saturday. Redshirt freshman Adaejah Hodge, who set a collegiate record in the 100-meter dash on Thursday during the semifinal, returned to establish a fresh No. 1 all-time national mark in the 200m final.  Three events before, senior teammate Dejanea Oakley locked down the NCAA record in the 400m to also pick up a national individual crown.

This marks the Lady Bulldogs' second straight national title after registering the 2025 championship.  The program now has 10 top five finishes all-time. Florida finished second in the women's race with 43 points, Arkansas was third with 38 and Oregon finished fourth on its home track with 36 points. The Georgia men finished second behind Arkansas on Friday, marking the Bulldogs' top finish since winning the 2018 crown.

Oakley, a senior from Jamaica, parlayed her runner-up finish in 2025 into a gold medal in the 400m with a collegiate record finish (48.79).  This bumped Oakley at the No. 2 spot past the 48.89 set in 2024 for the nation's No. 1 all-time finish.

Hodge, who was the runner-up in the 100m final, blasted a 21.68 to leave Kentucky's Abby Steiner (21.80 – 2022) in a distance second for the record.  The legendary Gwen Torrence (1987) and Debbie Ferguson (1998) were the other two women's 200m champions in school history prior to Saturday.

The Georgia women's track and field team joins Equestrian (2008-10), gymnastics (2005-09) and women's tennis (2025-26) as UGA squads to capture at least three straight national championships counting track's 2025 outdoor, 2026 indoor and 2026 outdoor titles.  Georgia's Director of Track & Field Caryl Smith Gilbert joins Texas' Bev Kearney (1998-99) as the only female coaches to win two consecutive women's outdoor titles and Smith Gilbert also becomes the first female head coach to win four NCAA outdoor women's championships (two while at USC).

What Bulldogs Scored On Day Four: Here is a summary of what Georgia women scored on Saturday: 
*Kaila Jackson, Hodge, Reign Redmond and Jassani Carter passed the baton to a third-place finish with a school record.  The relay last scored in 2023 with Jackson as one of the legs.  She finishes her career as a 12-time scoring indoor/outdoor All-American.
*Hodge blazed to her fifth sub-11 second 100m to earn silver.  This was the second of three events Hodge ran in during the meet's final day.
*Oakley then popped a collegiate record in the 400m to give Georgia back-to-back titles in the event after Aaliyah Butler won in 2025.
*Sophomore Michelle Smith made it two-for-two scoring at the NCAA meet after taking fourth in the 400m hurdles.
*Hodge took the track in the 200m after her silver in the 100m and ran a determined collegiate record to put Georgia on track to capture the team title.
*In the meet's finale, the Lady Bulldogs came through with a runner-up finish in the 4x400m relay to pull of their seven-point team victory.
