Today’s photo is the first in a se­ries from the 2010 NCAA Div. III Wrestling Na­tional Cham­pi­onships in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on March 5 and 6, 2010. I was hired by Augs­burg Col­lege, Con­cor­dia Moor­head and St. Olaf Col­lege to shoot the event.

Here is the Augs­burg team lined up be­fore the night ses­sion of Day 1.

From left to right: Andy Witzel, Jared Massey, Zach Moli­tor, Or­lando Ponce, Ja­son Adams, Tony Valek and Paul Bjork­strand. Not pic­tured: Josh Roberts, Mark Matzek.

Un­like most the the pho­tos I post here, I have edited this one quite a bit with the burn and dodge brushes, so no ed­i­to­r­ial uses of this photo. Of course, I still have the RAW file. I did no­tice that the flag has been over­burned — es­pe­cially in the web sized file — but that can be worked around, or bet­ter yet, the edit­ing can be redone.
