3 min read
If you follow Georgia women's track and field, you already knew something special was coming.
Thursday night at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, Adaejah Hodge delivered it. The redshirt freshman ran a 10.63 in the women's 100-meter semifinal at the 2026 NCAA Outdoor Championships, breaking the collegiate record that LSU's Sha'Carri Richardson had held since 2019. That mark of 10.75 stood for seven years. Hodge erased it by 12 hundredths of a second, one of the largest margins in NCAA record history for the event.

The 10.63 also placed her fifth on the all-time world list. A college freshman, competing in Eugene, putting her name among the fastest women ever to run the 100 meters. She came in ranked second on the all-time collegiate list after running 10.77 at the Tom Jones Memorial in April. When the moment came, she ran faster.
She wasn't finished. Hodge posted the fastest qualifying time in the 200 meters with a 21.96, then ran on Georgia's 4x100 relay, which also qualified for Saturday's final. The kind of day that fans of this program will talk about for a long time.
The final is Saturday.
