A javelin thrown during warm-ups for a high school track and field meet at New Brunswick, N.J., pierced the neck of a 15-year-old team manager but missed vital organs by millimeters, his doctor said. Jeremy Campbell of Metuchen, N.J., was impaled by the eight-foot aluminum javelin Monday while preparing for a meet between his St. Joseph’s High and Edison High. He is scheduled to be released from the hospital today, and his doctor said he can return to school as soon as he likes.
