Despite losing his left shoe, Missouri running back Kendial Lawrence continues to run down field during the third quarter of the Tigers’ game against the Furman Paladins Saturday, Sept. 19, 2009 at Memorial Stadium in Columbia, Mo.

Judges’ comments for the category

First Place: We thought this photo was very unusual. Not a shot you see every day. Second Place: Funny moment at second base. Another one you don't see very often. Third Place: Good to think outside the box. Not all sports shots should come from the field. It's the difference from shooting a game and covering a game.
