## Caption

A few minutes before I took this sequence of @anthonygs_12 running the 200m at the #spokaneinvitational, I was in the stands talking about him with @stephboknows who reminded me to get a shot of him.
:
:
So I go trackside to set up for this race, and I get distracted talking to another photographer when I hear the gun, and as they round the turn, there’s a guy in a @uwtrack uniform! So I say to the other photographer, “oh f4%k!”, and in one smooth motion, gather myself & start shooting.
:
:
Good thing I did, as Anthony won the whole thing in 21.73.
:
:
These are photos 1, 2 & 4 in the sequence (3 is posted on the @uwtrack IG page).
:
:
Now you know the story behind how the 🌭is made.
