Medical personnel stabilize Ryan McGeeney’s leg after he was pierced by
a javelin directly below his right knee at the Utah state high school
track championships in Provo, Utah, on Saturday. McGeeney was
transported by ambulance to a hospital, where the javelin was removed.
He received 13 stitches, but suffered no serious damage to any
ligaments or tendons. McGeeney took the photo himself.
Best quote from the story:
“One of the first things that came to my mind was, ‘Good thing we
brought a second javelin,’” Miles’ coach, Richard Vance, said Monday.
He said Miles was “in a little bit of shock,” but he assured the
athlete it was not his fault.
