In the Sports Reaction Photo category, there were five Walsworth finalists, including Hanna Corny from Palo Alto High School in Palo Alto, California; Aidan McCall from J.W. Mitchell High School in Trinity, Florida; Abby Ryan from Shawnee Mission Northwest High School in Shawnee, Kansas; and Abney Garcia and Melanie Russell from McKinney High School in McKinney, Texas.
