State Track

Spent Friday and Saturday in Eugene covering the State Track and Field meet. Its always my favorite event of the year. Hayward Field in Eugene is a great venue. I shoot it for 4-5 different papers around the state. It was sunny and showers on friday and Saturday we just got drenched, but it was still fun. The top photo was the last event of the meet, the 4x400 relay. Henley (left) and Marist were tield going into the event, with the winner winning the team event as well. It was a dramatic finish as Henley's runner dives across the finish line, but it was not enough and Marist wins...I'm so pissed at myself for screwing up this shot. I shot it horizontal and too tight, cutting off her hands. I'm such an idiot. Oh well. Next time I will know to shoot it lose or better yet vertical. You live you learn. the paper in Klamath Falls ran it as the lead though, so that is good. I put more photos from the event on my sports shooter page, click on the link above or to the right.
