Jay, here.
Ryan McGeeney is a man! Not only did he serve in Afghanistan as a Marine, but the dude kept on shooting after being wounded on the field of battle in Provo.
Gosh, something doesn’t sound right about that. Are we are war with Utah?
Actually, it was an infield. And the battle was the state high school track championships. But the injury was very real.
See for yourself.
Just click here or on the photo for the full story.
Yikes.
Although, he’s got a pretty good sense of humor about it. Read the story and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
Also, the guy is not going to be hurting for publicity for a while. Look for him to make the media circuit. As a military veteran, he’s already done great things. And he might do some other great things in the future. But this is going to be his fifteen minutes of fame.
Here’s hoping nothing like this happens at Hayward Field in the near future.
