Georgia Hulls (born 27 August 1999) is a New Zealand sprinter with multiple national and Oceania titles who has represented her country at the World Athletics Championships.[1]

## Early life

[edit]

Hulls is from Hawke's Bay where she attended Havelock North High School.[2] She competed for New Zealand in Cali, Colombia at the 2015 World Youth Championships in Athletics and at the 2016 IAAF World U20 Championships held in Bydgoszcz, Poland.[3]

## Career

[edit]

Hulls moved to live in Auckland to study accounting at Massey University’s Academy of Sport and to train with a cluster of New Zealand's young aspiration athletes based there. In her first year as a senior athlete she won the 2019 New Zealand national championships title over 400 metres before finishing as runner-up to Zoe Hobbs in the 200 m the following day.[4] Hulls came third in the 100 m at the 2019 Oceania Athletics Championships,[5][6] and, with Zoe Hobbs, Natasha Eady and Olivia Eaton, she also won bronze in the 4 × 100 m relay at the 2019 Summer Universiade held in Napoli, Italy.[7]

Hulls ran a then personal best 200 m time of 23.17 seconds to win the Australian championships on 2 April 2022. She had run a wind assisted 200 m in 23.10 to win the New Zealand 200 m national championships the previous month.[8][9] Hulls won gold in the 200 m and the 4 × 400 m relay at the 2022 Oceania Athletics Championships. Hulls competed for New Zealand at the 2022 World Athletics Championships held in Portland, Oregon.[10]

On 19 February 2023, Hulls lowered her personal best 200 m time, running 22.84 in finishing 2nd at the International Track Meet in Christchurch[11] (a time that beat the then previous NZ record, but the record fell to the race winner, fellow Kiwi, Rosie Elliott).[citation needed]

She competed at the 200 metres at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest in August 2023.[12]

## Personal life

[edit]

Her grandmother Jean Hulls (née Adamson) was among Britain's best multi-discipline athletes winning silver medals in the pentathlon at the England women's athletics championship in 1958 and 1959.[13]
