Clemson, S.C./BOSTON — Georgia track & field wraps up both Clemson’s Tiger Paw Invite and Boston’s David Hemery Valentine Invite in dominant fashion, resetting both a 2026 world lead and a NCAA lead on Saturday afternoon.

• Freshman phenom Adaejah Hodge ran away with the competition in first place with a personal-best effort of 22.51. That time resets the 2026 world lead of 22.51 that she set just two weeks ago in her debut. Hodge also improves to No. 22 in the collegiate all-time list indoors and ranks second in Georgia history indoors.
