110/100m & 300m Hurdles – 2013 Pasco Invite
With so much happening on the track as well as out in the field, catching photos of all the events at a track meet is difficult and of every athlete is impossible. The distance races give the photographer a couple of chances to capture each athlete but the dashes only give you one opportunity. The…

Elite Mile – 2013 Pasco Invite
All track running events now use ‘meters’ instead of yards. So you have the 100m dash, 200m dash, 1600m, 3200m, etc. But how do the elite high school athletes of today compare to those of the past? Since the Pasco Invite has attracted the top athletes in the northwest for the past 52 years, the…

Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park

Girls Soccer – Kamiakin vs Mercer Island
On Wednesday I attended and took photos of my first soccer game. It was quite a challenge! Under the lights of the stadium I thought it would be similar to taking photos at a football game but it was quite different. In football, most of the time the game marches from one end of the…
