2016 Canadian Championships and Rio Selection Trials

Spending four long days in the hot sun, and pouring rain, at Foote Field taking photographs of the 2016 Track & Field Canadian Championships and Rio Selection Trials takes a lot of energy. The photos below are some of my favourites that I managed to capture of these amazing athletes that made all the effort worth it.

Up close photo of pure elation on the face of Charles Philibert-Thiboutot with his arms spread wearing a bright orange uniform as he crosses the finish line securing his 1500m win and spot in Rio. Two women with hands on each others shoulders have huge smiles on their faces as they celebrate the realization they are going to Rio.
A group of people all smiling and in disbelief surround and celebrate friend and teammate Maria Bernard qualifying for Rio as Maria hugs a friend in the foreground.
A women wearing a blue and yellow jersey reaching up and over the high jump bar with a blurred out blue background. Paul Galas in his University of Indiana colours seemingly bends in half backwards over the high-jump bar in front of a blurred out colourful sea of spectators.
A high contrast wide angle image from the ground looks up at the pack of female runners rounding the corner with a blue and white sky above the grandstand in the background.
