Coach Caryl’s Comments: “The beginning of January is always an exciting time for those of us involved in collegiate track and field, and that level of excitement is even more elevated this year in Athens.  We are coming off 2025 indoor and outdoor seasons that saw us have three top two national team finishes, including the women winning the NCAA outdoor title, we have more than 45 newcomers with unlimited potential and we are getting the opportunity to practice and compete on our brand new Spec Towns Track.  The energy level is extremely high and I can’t wait to get going in Clemson.  Go Dawgs!”

 

A Look Back At The 2025 Indoor Season: Georgia posted matching second-place finishes on the men and women’s side at the 2025 NCAA Indoor Championships after the Bulldog women finished fourth at last year’s SEC indoor meet and the men took ninth.  UGA opened at the Ted Nelson Invitational in College Station, Texas, last year.

 

Where This Season Will Take The Dogs: Following Saturday’s meet, the Bulldogs will head to Albuquerque, N.M., for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Collegiate Open on Jan. 23-24.  Georgia will have another four regular season meets before opening the postseason at the SEC Indoor Championships on Feb. 26-28 in College Station. The NCAA Championships will be held two weeks later as the indoor season wraps in Fayetteville, Ark., on March 13-14.
