## Caption

Nothing says fall like the leaves turning yellow and cross country.

With less than a mile to go in the women’s race at the ncaatrackfield West Regional cross country championships, I camped out at this spot on the Haggin Oaks GC, figuring out that this is where the racers would begin the gradual build up to the finish. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the runners popped on the screen with the perfect combination of back lighting and the trees in the background.
