Georgia sophomore Christopher Morales Williams completed the indoor-outdoor sweep in the 400-meter dash on the third day of the NCAA Outdoor Championships Friday. Morales Williams, a native of Vaughn, Ontario, became the first Bulldog to sweep the same event indoors and outdoors in the same year. His 400m crown is the 20th NCAA outdoor individual title for the Georgia men after graduate transfer Marc Minichello captured the javelin championship earlier this week. True freshman Riyon Rankin left Hayward Field with an expected First Team All-America certificate as well in the high jump with a 7th place finish. The Brunswick, Ga., native posted three straight first attempt clearances to be the second-best Southeastern Conference finisher in the event. In the multi-events, sophomore Ella Rush tallied 3,271 points after the first four events of the heptathlon to hold in 22nd place. Her performance included a personal record of 24.93 in the 200m.The Georgia men finished ninth with 25 points, marking the seventh straight top-10 performance for the Bulldogs at the meet. Florida (41) edged Auburn (40) for the men's team title while USC (33), Alabama (32) and Texas A&M (31) rounded out the top five. With only six of 21 events scored on the women's side, Florida (26) leads Nebraska (22), Oregon (15), Washington (14.5) and Rice (14) in the top five. Junior Elena Kulichenko, who is ranked second nationally in the women's high jump, competes at 5 p.m. on the final day to start the open events. Sophomore Kaila Jackson will run in the 100m final at 5:22 p.m. to begin track events before she returns at 7:07 p.m. in the 200m final.
The national No. 7 seed Georgia Bulldogs play host to No. 10 national seed N.C. State Saturday at Foley Field in an NCAA Super Regional with first pitch slated for 12:06 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on ESPNU and be available on the Georgia Bulldog Sports Network. The Bulldogs (42-15) have made their first Super Regional since 2008. Like Georgia, the Wolfpack (36-20), swept through their home regional last weekend. Georgia is 8-3 in Super Regional play and has advanced all four previous times, winning three at home and one on the road. Georgia is third nationally with a .593 slugging percentage and fourth in on-base percentage at .436.
