The Reggie Lewis Center in Boston once again served as the stage for some of the top athletes from throughout the region (and nation, too!) to showcase their talents with Saturday’s New England Track & Field Championships.
As usual, Ocean State Running collaborated with its sister sites from Massachusetts (bay.staterunning.net), New Hampshire (nh.staterunning.net), and Connecticut (mysportsresults.com) to provide complete coverage of the regional meet.
Coming fully loaded for Saturday’s competition, we had several photographers on site, catching all the action. Before we move on to previewing the upcoming New Balance Nationals (and more), we still got plenty to unload from this past weekend’s meet. Below, check out some great shots by our talented guys behind the lens – NH’s Jay Smith, CT’s Ron Knapp and MA’s Byron Flagg..
