Prep talk: Another day, another life saved by high school athletic trainer

As a soccer class was ending last Thursday, an assistant coach fell to the ground. Head coach Chris Murray thought he tripped. Then he looked into his eyes, which appeared dilated, and saw that his face was purple. While a football coach nearby was calling 911, Murray began chest compressions. Athletic trainer Amber Anaya received a text in her office that said, "Emergency." She got into her golf cart that contained her automated external defibrilator (AED) machine and raced to the field within two minutes.
