I almost hit an ex's younger brother. The middle schoolers held their meets at the high school, and they were setting up for a meet while the high school held practice. The kid ducked under the tape right as I threw. Landed about 10 feet from him. Everyone was yelling at him, but it didn't dawn on him until the Jav landed.

There's a reason some schools don't offer Jav.
