Ryan McGeeney spent six months in Afghanistan as a Marine, and thought that working at the Standard-Examiner as a newspaper photographer would be safer work. Well, there are no guarantees in life. He was speared through the leg by an errant javelin while working at a high school state track meet, but was fortunate enough to be spared from serious injury. As an ex-Marine, he’s probably a pretty tough guy, and so to prove it he snapped a photo of his speared leg while others worked to help him. McGreeney considered the wound “not real painful” and received 13 stitches after the javelin was removed at a local hospital. The thrower, Anthony Miles, won the state title with his next throw, adrenaline surely still pumping.
