Description
A spectator killed by an errant weight in a hammer throw event at a youth track and field meet was a dedicated father and husband with a great sense of humor, relatives said.
The accident Sunday at the Colorado United Track Club meet at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs killed Wade Langston, 57, of Colorado Springs, the El Paso County coroner’s office said Tuesday.
The weight cleared “certified barriers” before striking Langston in a fieldhouse at the University of Colorado’s Colorado Springs campus, according to a university statement.
