Photos are priced reasonably for meets to recoup costs of purchasing the site. This was the only way to dump thousands of photos per meet. I used to send them to athletes, but you can only imagine how burdensome that was. Photos are primarily of the events I am not video recording (can't be everywhere), but I give my son's school (Louisiana Tech) priority. PS: Wife does many of photos and she's learning as I operate the video camera (I did the Jump photos and long-distance photos).

More on Rodriq McCravy...

From UPI.com November 11, 1987
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Rodriq McCravy, a popular 19-year-old University of Kentucky track athlete, died last month from a rare congenital heart defect that affects less than 20,000 Americans, the state medical examiner said today.

Dr. George Nichols said an autopsy showed McCravy died of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, also known as idiopathic hypertrophic sub-aortic stenosis, (IHSS), a thickening of the septum, which separates the two sides of the heart.

The disease, which usually manifests itself by age 26, is treatable with drugs, Nichols said. If affects at most one person in 15,000, he said.The disease in hereditary in about 20 to 25 percent of cases, but its major cause is unknown, Nichols said. The disease was undiagnosed in McCravy and 'there is speculation' that athletic endeavors can hasten the death of someone afflicted with it, said Dr. Douglas Ackermann, a cardiovascular pathologist.

'It is a common cause of death in athletes who diedsuddenly,' Ackerman said.

Nichols, however stressed there is no need for worry among other athletes.

'This is an unusual disease,' Nichols said. 'The last thing we want is to scare a lot of athletes. Most people who have this disease don't die from it.'

The disease, which usually manifests itself by age 26, is treatable with drugs, Nichols said. If affects at most one person in 15,000, he said.

McCravy was found dead in his campus dormitory room in Lexington one day after cutting short a training session and complaining that he felt ill.

The preliminary autopsy results ruled out drug or alcohol as factors, the Fayette County coroner's office said.

The coroner initially suggested that McCravy might have died of Marfan's syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that is a leading cause of sudden death among athletes but his family was told last week that such a possibility had been eliminated by subsequent autopy tests.

McCravy, a sophomore and product of Louisville's Trinity High School where he played basketball, ran track and was student council president, had placed sixth in last summer's TAC National Junior Championships and set a Kentucky freshman record of 53.35 seconds in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles.

He also had run on Kentucky's school record indoor 4x400 relay team and school record outdoor sprint medley relay team.
