I’m no runner. In fact, when I did track in 8th grade, I was so horrible I asked the coaches if they wouldn’t make me compete in the track meets. I think the only event I didn’t come in dead-last was a hurdles event that I came in second to last (barely) because a girl fell hard over one of the hurdles. Because of this, I have a high amount of respect for track and field competitors. I was very captivated by the movement of arms and legs during these events, especially in the “jumping” ones – high jump, triple jump, pole vault, etc. Pole vault was especially interesting to me because it looks so impossible and I cannot fathom how one learns (or has the courage) to throw themselves vertically in the air on a tiny pole and over another pole. Too scary for me!

The first day of the NCAA 2009 Outdoor Track and Field Championships was interrupted by storms that moved into Fayetteville in the early evening. Unfortunately I didn’t get to shoot all of Arkansas’ events on the day. By the time the meet resumed I was out of work hours for the day. Here is a gallery of what I was able to get in before the lightning delay.
