As readers may be aware, The Leader has run a summer-long Sports Action Photo Contest.

First, a big thank you to all those who entered, and we received many fine entries. The subjects ranged from backyard swimming to kids baseball and softball to travel team soccer.

We were happy to publish a majority of the photos received.

Alas, it was a contest and therefore winners must be selected.

Our grand prize winner is Susan Cicchino for a photo depicting her daughter, Angela, playing soccer against the Trinidad and Tobago U-17 National Team. The picture originally ran in the July 18 issue.

For her win, Susan will receive a $40 Target gift card which she can use for photo supplies or anything else the retailer offers.

Second place goes to Mary Ann Fajardo, who will receive a $20 Target gift card. Her photo was creative and was originally published in the July 11 edition of The Leader.
