On the second loop of his cross country race, high school runner, Seth Goldstein,voluntarily fell behind to save the life of a runner on a rival team.
"I was feeling good," Goldstein, 17, a senior at Cooper Yeshiva High in Memphis,Tenn., told the Memphis Commercial Appeal. "That's when everything happened in front of me."
One of the runners from a rival school in Germantown, Tenn., suddenly collapsed in front of Goldstein; he was the only one who stopped to help the boy.
