Between Iowa and prep football, state basketball and state track, I had a decent year of improving my sports action shooting, but none that stand out enough to share here. My two favorite sports features from the year are both from the state track meet. I'm sure it has nothing at all to do with the seven years I spent on the elementary/middle/high school track teams, but I really loved covering the state meet. The excitement of a win or the devastation of a loss that never gets old, especially in the relay events.

That top image is amazing! If we were doing a print swap I'd take that one or the overview of the flood. You rock Liz!
