The Georgia men’s track and field team won the first national championship in program history during the NCAA Outdoor Championship in Eugene, Ore., on Friday.

The title comes three months after the Bulldogs women’s team won its first indoor national championship.

The track team is the first Georgia men’s squad to win a national title since the men’s tennis team in 2008.

Four who mattered 

Denzel Comenentia: The junior won the hammer throw and shot put competitions.

Kendal Williams: The junior finished third in the 200-meter dash in 20.32 seconds.

Keenon Laine: The junior finished third in the high jump at 7-foot-3.

Antonios Merlos: The freshman set a personal best in the high jump at 7-1.75, which earned a fifth-place finish.

Worth mentioning

Redemption: Senior Cejhae Greene, who failed to qualify for the 100 meters last year, finished in 10.37 seconds, good for ninth place. He was the Bulldogs’ highest scorer in the event since Manley Waller in 1987.

Quick success: Petros Kyprianou is in his third season as coach and has worked with the program since 2008, initially joining as an assistant.
