(RNN) – A college runner was sabotaged during a recent race by a runaway deer.

Justin DeLuzio of Gwynedd Mercy University was knocked over by a deer that crashed into him.

DuLuzio is banged up a little bit, his coach says, but he finished the race despite the freak incident.

A teammate helped him back up and ran alongside him for the remainder of the race.

“We're proud to see him fight through this along with his teammates, get up and finish his last collegiate cross country race," said coach Kevin Clark.

The incident was caught on video and does contain some profanity.
