This photo is hot! Share it!

A young man goes through the pain barrier to carry his teams baton home. Effort is etched on his face. The pain was worth the gain when his team mates run over to share their joy with him.

Love kid's sports photographs. They do it all for a ribbon, trophy. Pump fists for wins, pout for losses, all for about a second....until they find out what's for snack.
This is great.
