Shannon Ahlstedt of Newton High School won the Sports Photography contest and was judged Best in Show in KSPA’s January Photo of the Month contest. Ahlstedt’s photograph of NHS wrestler Hugh McConnell captured the judges’ eye because of its clarity and focus, but also because it captured a pivotal moment in the match.
