The Georgia Bulldogs men's track and field team represents University of Georgia (UGA) in NCAA Division I men's indoor and outdoor track and field.[2][3][4][5]
The team's home track is Spec Towns Track, the namesake of Spec Towns. Towns was the first olympic gold medalist from the state of Georgia and a long-time team coach.[4] In 2023, the University of Georgia announced plans to build a new track and field complex.[3][6]
Other UGA men's track and field athletes that have won Olympic medals include Norman Edwards, a 1984 Silver Medalist in the men's 4x100 relay at the 1984 Summer Olympics,[7] Elija Godwin, a bronze medalist as a member of the American Mixed 4 × 400 metres relay team at the 2020 Summer Olympics[8][9] and Reese Hoffa, a shot put bronze medalist at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[10][11]
