Think cross country isn't a contact sport? Oh, deer!
A fast-moving Bambi decided to turn Thumper at the NCAA D-III Mideast Regionals in Center Valley, Pa., bolting across the course and sending Justin DeLuzio sprawling. But the Gwynedd Mercy University runner got up, bruised and sore, and finished the race.
"I was fortunate," DeLuzio told Philadelphia's WCAU-TV. "I know if that deer was a little bit bigger I could have been in serious trauma."
