KALAMA, Wash. -- A javelin impaled a 12th-grader during track practice at a South Sound school on Monday, one of two incidents that left students hurt, KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reported.
One of Dodson's friends snapped a photo of the javelin impaling him, but Dodson says that he was in shock and he did not feel any pain.
"[It]felt weird and exciting at the same time," said Dodson.
His friends were shocked and worried.
"It's not fun to see one of your friends on the ground with a javelin through his chest," said Brent Hopkins, student.
Minutes later, a seventh-grader was hit in the head by a shot put. The athlete was running out to retrieve his shot put and someone threw another one, striking him in the head.
Both students were taken to a hospital and will be OK.
There were coaches supervising the practice when both incidents occurred.
Well, I hope you enjoy your meager life of mediocrity here, online, preaching to people about things that you have no idea as to what happeend. Apparently you don't care what really happened, just as I don't care what you think. I, on the the other hand, will return to all the fun things I normally do, such as track, winning state for jav, and writing for the school paper. HAVE FUN SUCKING AT LIFE XD
LOL!
Hey, I'm not the one here trying to back up a phony claim.
Obviously you're here to bolster your lack of self esteem and pump up your miniscule ego.
At 30, I've done more fun things in my life than you have in junior high.
You want to know something about the pic?
If he'd been standing when the javelin hit, it would be at a different angle...
lol yeah sorry I was in a pissy mood this morning. but it's not a phony claim, we aren't in junior high (we're both kalama high school seniors), and he wasn't standing when it "hit." He ran into the damned thing, the grass was wet and he slipped into the back point of it. Me and my friend brent saw it happen, talked to the KIRO news reporters, and blah di blah di blah. btw, if it was such a phony claim then why did it make Sports Illustrated?
