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.
