Highlights from the 2014 Essex Invitational, the top outdoor track & field invitational in the state of Vermont.
Over 1,400 photos taken by Ralph Epifanio from the Essex Invitational on Saturday, which serves as a New England Championships qualifier for the top athletes and relays in the state of Vermont.
If you can avoid its winter, Vermont is definitely the place to live: vermillion, tree-covered mountains; deep, dramatic, river-forged ravines; fast-flowing streams that invite (seasonal) tubing; inspiring vistas that go on to the horizon. And, adding to that, talented athletes that can bring the first day of spring into sharp focus with their record-breaking performances. The only shortcoming of that picture-perfect imagery was that this year spring finally arrived, more or less, on May 31st.
