Thanks. I got lucky on that one. As far as i can tell, he had just taken his last right step, was bringing his left foot forward (he runs with VERY low knees) and caught his spikes as the left foot was coming forward. Darn kids, draggin their feet! ;-) He didn't suffer any injuries other than some road rash on his one elbow.
