Birden set a West Georgia school record in the triple jump event last weekend at the Georgia Tech Invitational. The sophomore landed a jump of 12.43m and ultimately finished in fifth place, the highest among all non-division I athletes. The Conyers, Ga., native surpassed a provisional mark and posted the eighth-best triple jump mark in Division II. This was Birden’s second time winning the GSC Field Athlete of the Week this year; she previously earned it on April 10.
