NCAA Men's and Women's Indoor Track and Field Championships

A few months ago, I photographed a bunch of college students running fast, jumping high and throwing heavy things at and indoor setting on the campus of Texas A&M. I think my favorite events to photograph were the pole vault because the athletes looked like they were falling out of the sky and the 100m races because the celebrations came less than a second after crossing the finish line. Also, there were so many events going on at once that if you blinked...you might have missed something. Big shout to the Texas A&M men's squad and the Oregon women's squad for taking home the national titles.

Kingsley Keke for the Houston Chronicle

Two weeks ago, high school senior athletes around the country signed their National Letter of Intent to play sports for various colleges and universities. With all the high school football in the air in this here great state of Texas, you can imagine how big this day was for those student athletes. I got the call to head out to George Ranch High School in Richmond, TX to photograph Kingsley Keke, a 6' 3" 290 pound defensive tackle. Keke, as he is so affectionately called, is heading to Texas A&M this fall to help bolster an Aggie defense that many pundits think is non-existent. Shout out to Kingsley and good luck in College Station!
