From baseball to javelin, UNC thrower aims high


When it comes to throwing the javelin North Carolina's is about as new as it gets. "I had never even been to a track meet before, and I'd never even touched a javelin in my life," said Summers. But Summers is no ordinary student-athlete, he’s a 25-year-old college freshman, back in school after spending 6 years playing minor league baseball. (WRAL Sports Fan)
