Track and Field
(25 photos)

"Faster, Higher, Farther" - an exhibition at the University of Oregon in Eugene, during the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, takes a fond look back over the last quarter century's worth of indelible Olympic-related images made by four unique photographers: David Burnett, Kenneth Jarecke, Annie Leibovitz, and Dilip Mehta. Spanning the last six Olympiads, the selected pictures from the exhibition all train their focus on track and field, the Olympic events par excellence.
