Journalists who cover sports in Georgia for the USA TODAY Network took home three national honors for their work in 2023 by the Associated Press Sports Editors, with Athens Banner-Herald writer Marc Weiszer placing in the top 10 twice for his coverage of the University of Georgia athletics.
Weiszer placed in the Beat Writing for his UGA coverage in the D Division for smaller news organizations for his portfolio of work from the year. He also placed in Projects for his collection of stories on the Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) program for Georgia athletes.
Former editor Fletcher Page placed in Breaking News for his story for the Augusta Chronicle on play being halted at The Masters after three trees fell near the 17th hole.
APSE judging took place in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, this past week. Where stories rank in the top 10 in each category will be announced in late March and early April.
