Scoring tickets to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics during the first drop earlier this month brought excitement but also some challenges for fans — and organizers are finally sharing just how many tickets have been secured as registration for the second draw opens. The LA28 organizing committee announced Thursday that more than 4 million tickets were purchased worldwide during the first phase of sales. “The response to our initial on-sale was nothing short of historic,” LA28 Chief Executive Officer Reynold Hoover said in part of a statement. “Fans from near and far have spoken: the world wants to be part…

Some of the departing researchers say their decision to leave Massachusetts is a few years in the making, spurred by funding cuts, canceled grants, and ever-changing policy shifts under the Trump administration.

Senior midfielder Emmy O’Donnell is the headliner. Committed to Duke, she is a returning All-American, last season’s Massachusetts Gatorade Player of the Year, and a member of the United States under-19 and u-18 women’s national teams.
