Yikes. Not sure how the university let's that happen.

Fascinating from the point of athletic administration.
I am perplexed by these deaths when they are from hyperthermia. I ran marathons over a 25 year period so I obviously trained and competed 12 months per year and most of it in the D.C. area with its warm, humid summers. And, obviously, I might have been in races with hundreds of thousands of other runners (not usual to see a big marathon with over 25K runners).
It isn't unusual to see a few running deaths per year but that isn't unusual given the numbers of runners (many millions) just like there are probably a number of heart attacks while WATCHING football in front of the television.
I'm not sure there are more deaths of marathoners runners than a like number of non-runners.
So why a football player dying in July and not a long distance runner doing a 10 - 15 mile training run? One would think a 19 year old football player running in shorts and a t-shirt would be at a lower risk of death, etc. than say a 39 or 59 year old runner.
These athletes receive physicals, etc. whereas a runner simply needs a pair of shoes and show up ready to run... Most young runners (males?) probably run years and run marathons and never have an EKG, blood panel work ups, etc.
