Senior year is officially underway, and Jamie couldn’t have kicked it off in a more fitting way, racing through the 5K at the state meet in Cave Creek.

Photographing Jamie in this moment was the perfect start to documenting his final year. Next up: swapping spikes for cleats as soccer season begins.
