ATHENS, Ga. – Georgia Tech track & field concluded its 2021 outdoor regular season at the Torrin Lawrence Memorial Meet hosted by the University of Georgia at Spec Towns Track in Athens on Saturday afternoon. The Yellow Jackets laced it up against host UGA, Clemson, Columbia International University, Connecticut, Emory, Georgia State, North Carolina and Virginia Tech.
“We had a good weekend at UGA,” said head women’s track & field coach Alan Drosky. “The highlight was Bria breaking her own school record in the long jump yesterday. Then today she gets a seasonal best in the triple jump. Taylor jumped an outdoor personal best yesterday in the long jump and Reese had a nice personal best in the hurdles. The weekend ended well with a seasonal best in the 1600m relay. Being right in the middle of exams, we were a little flat in some areas.”

Massachusetts has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, and there are efforts to tighten them further.
The state is also home to Smith & Wesson, one of the country s most successful gun makers. And business has never been better, WBUR s
Radio Boston rundown for April 20. Anthony Brooks is our host.
Today a group of Massachusetts lawmakers is introducing legislation that would expand the state s assault weapons ban. Under current state law, it s illegal to sell or own a military-style rifle in the state. The new law, called An Act To Stop Mass Shootings, would outlaw the in-state manufacturing of assault weapons to sell to private citizens in other states. Joining us to discuss what this legislation means for the Commonwealth is John Rosenthal, founder of Stop Hand Gun Violence. We also hear from Sandy Phillips, whose daughter, Jessica, was among 12 people shot to death in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado in July of 2012. And we hear from Amy Swearer, a legal fellow with the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
