This was a strong category with lots of entries. First place was the clear winner, with good peak action and a clean background. Second place was from a hockey game. We liked the framing of this photo. Third place took us a while to choose. We liked a lot of the football photos that had great action, but no faces or cluttered background. We eventually went with one of a player jumping to avoid a tackle.
