"Alexander Dawson junior Robby Keown wenches as he approach the finish line of the CHSAA Boys 1A-2A Cross Country State Championships at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds in Aurora, Saturday, Oct. 29, 2011. Keown finished in 78th place with a time of 22 minutes and 15 seconds."
Thanks to the internet, this image gets to see the light of day.
Despite the fact that his emotions do a great job of representing several of the exhausted faces that crossed the finish line on Saturday, he finished sixth to last and it would never run in the paper.
Much of the day was a complete cluster and covering eight different races is easier said than done. It's a big game of risk vs reward, really. Compared to the pre-state meet on the same course that I covered in early September, I gave the finish line more priority.
The face above made that decision a successful one.
