State Track and Field

For the past few days I have been in La Crosse, Wis., covering the state finals for prep track and field. It's my last assignment before going home after a week on the road. I enjoy going and seeing new places but at a more leisurely pace than this past week has been.

Here's a few shots from the sports coverage.
