A focus on winter sports I f you’ve been to a North athletic event, you’ve likely seen Alex Neumann there capturing the action with his camera. Alex, a senior at North, has been to numerous sporting events over the years and has taken thousands of photos. “I take about 1,000 pictures for each event,” he said. Neumann has accumulated many photos over the years. “Since I started last year, I just went over 100,000 pictures.” The winter sports will soon be heading into the end of their regular season and into the WIAA playoffs.
