Some of mine a little wierd:
broken wrist - tripped in a 1600M start
sprained ankle w/ connective tissue tears - literally the next to last step of the last race of XC season (stepped on someone's foot and rolled it to the ground)
dislocated thumb - playing "keep the balloon in the air" with my brother
sciatica - running
plantars facitis - running
IT band irritation - running and notable because it was by far more painful than all the other combined but did no damage at all. Just hurt like a motherfucker whenever I'd run more than 2 miles. That, more than anything, contributed to my outright hatred of any swimming pool-based workout.
On of my best friends, who was an 800/1500M guy with me in college, broke his arm when he decided to try high jumping for the first time on a wet day during warmups.
