Best of 2014 NCAA Track and Field Championships | Day 3

June 13, 2014

Day 3 of the NCAA Track and Field Championships felt quite a bit laid back despite being made up of entirely finals. Eric and I didn't have nearly as many athletes to photograph as we did in the first two days. But let me tell you the 5000m was sure packed with guys we needed to get photos of (seven total). The nice thing about that is they run around the track about 12 times. If we couldn't get at least one good frame of seven different athletes between the two of us we might want to reevaluate our career in sports photography. We made some nice frames today, even with there being a number of more photographers present. Here are my 30 best photos from today. 

Disclaimer: While these photos do provide a decent representation of Day 3 of the NCAATF Championships, most of my work today was done in an effort to capture our clients' student athletes as they perform. In other words, this photo essay doesn't provide the whole picture (no pun intended) but it will give you a pretty good look into how today played out.
