August 19, 2020

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – A man who was seriously injured when he was hit by a discus at a South Dakota high school track meet has filed a lawsuit seeking damages.

Michael Moses was watching the South Dakota State High School Track Meet with his family in Sioux Falls last year and was standing in the spectator area when a competitor threw a discus that struck the Tea man directly in the face.

Moses collapsed and lost consciousness.

His lawsuit against the South Dakota High School Activities Association and the Sioux Falls School District says his nose was broken, teeth were knocked out, his jaw had to be reset and he underwent a bone and gum graft.
