First Place – Sports Feature Photo

Picked up a couple of awards this week. First and second place in sports feature photography from the Utah-Idaho-Spokane Associated Press Association. The photo above is the first place winner. I’ll post the second place photo next.

Winning was a pleasant surprise — I didn’t even know they’d been entered. In fact, when I heard I’d won, I had to ask which photos of mine won.

Now I know, and so do you.
