School board granted summary judgment in student’s personal injury claim arising from track & field accident.
Defendant school district was granted summary judgment in personal injury action by showing that plaintiff:
- Voluntarily engaged in the sport of track and field, including the discus event;
- Was aware of the possibility of being hit with a discus while participating in that activity;
