Over the years, I have had the great opportunity to photograph a wide variety of things. , When something new comes my way it always adds a bit more excitement to the challenge. This Fall I had the opportunity to photograph Cross Country for the first time, and I was able do it twice!
The first opportunity was a nice warm day in September. The University of Michigan was hosting the Big Ten Preview. I was blessed to be able to work again with the great staff and teams from Rutgers .
The next opportunity brought a whole new set of challenges, SNOW! The wind chill was below 10 degrees Fahrenheit and there was a few inches of snow. The atmosphere there felt more like a cross country skiing event, and definitely not running. Needless to say, I welcomed the challenge to photograph the NCAA DIII championship at Michigan State University for NCAA Photos . It was great to be able to work with them again and capture this event and the Olivet Comets were excellent hosts ! Enjoy!
