Terrence Nolan: Bee photographer captured it all in shot of long jumper

Bee photographer Andy Alfaro offered another image from his work in Elk Grove last Friday. This one is of Gregori High School’s Naomi Chappell in the long jump during the Sac-Joaquin Section Track and Field Championships. Chappell qualified for the state meet in Clovis.

Re “State-meet bound” (Page 1B, May 27): In Saturday’s Bee I saw a great color photo of Nicole Warwick winning the long jump. This picture, taken by Bee photographer Andy Alfaro, is a stunning action photograph and I hope other Bee readers appreciate Alfaro’s work. A big thank you to Andy and The Bee for making the effort to capture the excitement, athleticism, grace and competition present in our local high school and college women’s sporting events.

Terrence Nolan, Modesto
