Former University of Georgia track and field star Torrin Lawrence was tragically killed in a car accident Monday. His tire reportedly blew out on Interstate 75 on his way to Jacksonville. His tragic death will be felt throughout the sport as well as his friends and family.
Torrin will certainly be missed as a sportsman (via ESPN):
"'We were devastated to learn of Torrin's passing early this morning,' USA Track and Field CEO Max Siegel said. 'Torrin represented USATF with pride and passion, and had an incredible future ahead of him. We join those who will miss him deeply.'"
However, those closest to him have surely been the most heartbroken (via New York Daily News):
"First, my prayers for comfort are for Torrin's mother and family. Second, this makes me reflect on Torrin and remember him as one of the greatest talents I have ever seen."
