Section 6 Championships

I captured this series of images while photographing the Minnesota High School League Section 6 Nordic Ski Championship races at Elm Creek Park Reserve in Maple Grove. The Hopkins and Southwest (Minneapolis) girls tied in points and the team championship was decided by the elapse time of the top four competitors. Hopkins came out on top by a margin of only 3 seconds. The three images here capture the action over the final 1.5 Kilometers as Kim Lidstone of Hopkins leads Emily Gotzsche of Southwest toward the finish. Capturing Hopkins coaches Kevin Kos and Megan Wilder screaming their heads off in the background provided the opportunity to have a whole lot of fun with the images long after the race was over!
