Ohmygosh: 400-plus photos posted from Oshkosh nationals

Kay Glynn’s hair rises as she clears the  bar. Bruce McBarnette lowers his center of mass a second before leaping an American record.  Mike Waller calmly holds off a pair of world champions in the M50 sprints. These and dozens of other dramatic moments are in our latest Oshkosh gallery. Chris and I covered all the angles, sometimes in the same race. The result is one of the best chronicles of USATF nationals you’ve ever seen. Of course, you’ll see spills a la Spokane, including this  hurdler collison. But everyone walked away. It’s divided into sprints, distances, jumps, throws, hurdles and relays. For best effect, try using the slideshow function. (Click on View Slideshow at upper left. You can pause it, too.) If you see a shot you’d like, write to Chris.

    And for those of us who did! Well done, Ken and Chris! Great action shots and different perspectives! I also love your “faces” collection of pictures. Everything about Masters Track that we love and understand — it’s all there!

    Fantastic! Ken, I swear I was going to trample you when you were crouched just beyond the finish line. What you won’t do to get a shot…and here are the results! Thanks so much to you and Chris for this effort.
