High School Track

I went to the His and Hers Invitiational Track Invitational at Ithaca College’s new fieldhouse, Glazer Arena.

It was some hard shooting because even though the long windows make for a very well lit track compared to other facilities it also creates an ugly battle of color balance with the sodium vapor lights overheads. 

I don’t think I spent enough time looking when I was shooting. Not something you would expect shooting your own sport.
