Long Beach Middle School Girls League Track Meet

This past Saturday I covered the Long Beach Middle School Girls League Track meet held at Lakewood High School.

I've been covering Long Beach Middle School sports for almost 12 years now and still love it.  Its not about money, because to be honest I make very little if any from covering these events, but I still love getting out there to shoot.

Its great watching these athletes mature in the young adults I also get to shoot when their competing in high school.

Below you'll find some of my favorites from this past event.

Long Beach Middle School Girls League Track Meet

This week Long Beach Middle School held their girls league track meet at Lakewood High.  Sports wise the middle school sporting events held in Long Beach are at the top of things I love to shoot.  These kids are our future stars and will be show casing their talents on television one day.

 

Everything shot here was taken with the Canon Mark IIn and a 300 f/2.8L IS.  My aperture ranged from f/2.8 to f/4 and my ISO went from 500 (early morning) to 100.

 

Weather was perfect and the action was great.  Enjoy the shots.

 

Long Beach Middle School Girls Practice Track Meet

NO sunsets today, this weekend was all about sports.  Saturday morning found me at Lakewood High covering the Long Beach Middle School Girls Practice Track meet.  I absolutely love shooting track and with the middle school girls track here that only means one thing - high school track is just around the corner.

 

Here are just a few of the many I like from Saturday's meet.

 

Long Beach Middle School Boy's League Track Meet

Today was the Long Beach Middle School's Boys

 League meet at Lakewood High.  I wasn't able to get there earlier enough for the field events (high jump / long jump) due to a soccer game I shot.

Another perfect day to be outside, especially in shorts, considering a lot of my photographer friends are dealing with snow and very, very cold weather.

 

Here are my favorites from today's meet.

 

Long Beach Middle School Boys Practice Track Meet

Around the end of football middle school track usually starts and this year the boys go first.

 

So last Saturday I got up early to head to Lakewood High and cover the Long Beach Middle School's Boys practice track meet.  I was able to get some shots of the long and high jumps prior to leaving to cover a soccer game for a friend.  Once the soccer game was over I returned to Lakewood to finish the meet.

 

It was a great day to simply be out shooting.

 

Here are some of my favorites from that day's meet.

 

Middle School Girls Shot Putters

This past Saturday was a busy morning starting with some middle school track. Long Beach Middle School was holding their girls league track meet at Lakewood High, but unfortunately I was unable to cover the whole event, instead I was only able to grab some shots of the shot putters before heading to Millikan High to cover the middle school boys basketball championships.

So here are a few of my favorites from the shot putters.
