The Victor

Wrestler John Soto of San Antonio Roosevelt High is embraced by teammate Lalo Sanchez after Soto defeated Houston Westside's Will Pennington in Texas prep boys championships in Austin on Feb. 22, 2003. Soto was suffering from a painful injury which nearly prevented him from competing. Nikon D1H, 105mm f1.8 lens, f1.8@1/250, ISO 3200.

... we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope.
