The importance of knowing CPR was demonstrated by Wayzata High School football coaches last week after one of their players went into cardiac arrest during a running drill.
After 16-year-old Ted Okerstrom collapsed, coaches Matt Lombardi and Ryan Johnson responded quickly to administer CPR and used a defibrillator to bring Okerstrom back to life.
