Rhianna Gelhart of the Wyoming Tribune Eagle finished second, and Gary Cosby Jr. of The Tuscaloosa News took third.
Sports editors in Division D submitted 22 entries in Action Photos.
Contest chair Jorge Rojas and fellow APSE officers Gary Potosky, Naila-Jean Meyers and Ed Reed prepared the entries. The contest is open to APSE members.
In February, photographers from The Associated Press met and handled judging for the photo portion of the APSE contest. They chose a top 10 and then ranked them 1-10.
The winner in each category will receive a plaque at the summer conference. The second- through 10th-place finishers will receive frameable certificates.
