Photo Finishes: April 16, 2012
April 16, 2012
Take a photo last week that you really liked? Or get some exciting video that everyone should see? We want to see both as well.
The spring season finally is full blast, and we're celebrating our return to the outdoors with a new feature at Second Half.
Each Monday, we'll post reader-submitted photos and videos -- at first, up to five each week, with the opportunity to include more if there's interest/submissions to match.
If sending a photo, just let us know when and where it was taken (and who is in it if possible). Videos must be uploaded to YouTube and will be embedded on Second Half.
Send your photos and links to YouTube videos to Geoff Kimmerly at [email protected].

Following Olling's Championship Run
December 16, 2011
The MHSAA Lower Peninsula Cross Country Finals were run Saturday at Michigan International Speedway. We followed Breckenridge sophomore Kirsten Olling as she won her second straight Division 4 championship.
She won in 18:02.7, giving her four MHSAA championships so far in her high school career. She also won the 3,200 and 1,600-meter races at last spring's Divsion 4 Track and Field Final.
Finally, a few "By the Numbers:"
--1,973 total runners at this fall's Finals
--Breakdown by class: 641 seniors, 591 juniors, 418 sophomores, 321 freshmen, two 8th graders (8th graders can compete on high school teams for schools with enrollments below 100)
