Georgia Track & Field Recruiting Standards
The University of Georgia combines SEC competition, national-level track and field tradition, and highly competitive recruiting expectations across every event group.
Georgia Recruiting Overview
Understanding Georgia Track & Field Recruiting
Georgia recruits at a national SEC level. The standards below are presented as recruiting ranges to help families understand the difference between target-level recruiting marks and scholarship-level recruiting consideration.
For running events, ranges are listed from faster to slower. For field events, ranges are listed from the lower recruiting mark to the stronger target-level mark.
Meeting a standard does not guarantee coach support, scholarship money, admission, or a roster spot. Coaches evaluate roster needs, event-group depth, academic profile, progression, and projected SEC contribution.
