Photo Essay by
Larry Libow
with additional photos from
Tucker Taft

[Note: As much as I tried to be everywhere, I wasn't able to take all the photos myself, especially during the 100m and 200m events. You can thank Tucker for all the 100m shots. All of Tuckers photos can be found at http://picasaweb.google.com/Tucker.Taft/USATFNEMastersChampsJuly2007. I cropped many of the images to get in closer to the action and that is why there is no uniform size to many of the images. The photos may not be in proper event order and as much as I wanted to, I know I didn't get shots of everyone. If anyone was left out I sincerely apologize. All images here are reduced in size but the original images are available and if anyone would like copies, you need only ask. - LL]

We couldn't have asked for a nicer day. Perhaps less wind but it's possible it aided more than it hampered.
There were others taking photos and I will get them up - or provide links - as soon as they are made available.
