I spent the last two days covering the Minnesota State Track and Field meet at Hamline University in St. Paul. With a total of 27 hours working in those two days, I came back with 106 photos of southeast Minnesota tracksters competing for state titles. Oh yeah, it also reached 90 degrees each day.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the meet. Reaction was a challenge to get since I had a kid in every event. I wasn't able to hang around long if a winner was declared later.

And check out all the photos here for the Class A State Meet and Class AA State Meet.
