humphrey st. francis's kendra bender looks at the finish line after falling in the final stretch of the class d 300 meter low hurdles as silver lake's jordane choquette wins the race at the nebraska high school state track meet at burke in omaha, neb., on saturday, may 20, 2006.
i have to admit i felt pretty bad for kendra, but i suppose the short-fallings are what make sport victories all the more interesting and compelling.
