A herd of deer invaded a cross-country race, and one unlucky runner racing along the edge of a cornfield was leveled by what looked to be a rampaging doe.

The runner was Division III Gwynedd Mercy's Justin DeLuzio, who was fortunately able to get back up and finish his race at the Mideast Regional.

Always look both ways for oncoming deer.
