A newspaper photographer got a little too close to the action at Utah’s state high school track championships — and was speared through the leg by a javelin. Ryan McGeeney of the Standard-Examiner was spared serious injury Saturday, and even managed to snap a photo of his speared leg while others tended to him. “If I didn’t, it would probably be my editor’s first question when I got back,” said McGeeney, a former Marine. The javelin was thrown by Anthony Miles, a Provo High School student who went on to win the state title. “One of the first things that came to my mind was, ‘Good thing we brought a second javelin,’ ” Provo coach Richard Vance said Monday.
