The photo of Bella Faircloth was a unanimous first place photo for the sports action category because of the image's timing, facial expression and technicality.
Second place gave us a chuckle and while not a moment of pure competitiveness, it showcased the sport's roots.
Third place was a well executed classic baseball moment. It was chosen out of other similar baseball submissions for its tight crop and nice expression.
