NPPA: Best of Photojournalism 2006: Web Site Winners: Best Sports Picture Story (Large Affiliated Sites)

3rd Place (tie): Making Weight; Junior Trevon Jenifer, 16, was born without any legs but is enjoying success on Huntingtown High School's wrestling team.
Judge's Comments (Margarita): This story gave us the opportunity to get to know the subject in all aspects of his life. However in the beginning images it is not easily known that he is a wrestler, but they offer a glimpse at the relations he has at school and in his personal life. When we see wrestling, it draws us in with amazement and makes us care and feel for the subject. Audio was missed and could have enhanced the overall web package.
