UT trackster critical after hit by hammer

A University of Tennessee hammer thrower remains in critical condition in a Lexington hospital after an accident Fri­ day at the Kentucky Relays. Scott Hartman, 19, was struck in the head by a 16-pound hammer while warm­ ing up for that event. After throwing, he ,. went into the field to retrieve his hammer (a ball attached to a wire). Initially, he was facing the throwing circle, but turned -- around. When the next toss came, he did not hear warnings and was hit in the back of the head. Two Herd hammer throwers, Mike Efremeko and Lee Lafferty, witnessed the incident. "It was the goriest thing they ever laid their eyes on," Coach Dennis Brachna said.
