Description

In a black-and-white, medium-shot photograph, a group of young male athletes are standing on a black podium with white numbers designating 1-6. One male is stepping down. The athletes are wearing running shorts and tank tops or shirts, and most are turned with their backs to the viewer. They are mostly white ethnicity. They stand inside a large stadium with a visible running track. Spectators sit and stand in the background, near equipment and behind a barrier. There are running shoes scattered on the floor in the foreground. Overhead, the stadium is lit with fluorescent lights.
