Track Team Rescues Two People From Drowning

A Mayville-area school track team that was running trails at Turtle River State Park is credited with saving two people from drowning.

The elementary and middle school age runners decided to go for a swim Monday night, and an 11-year-old boy got swept away by the current.

A female chaperone jumped in to save him and also got trapped in the current.

The two were swept downstream but eventually pulled from the water by team members.

The woman was treated for minor injuries.

The boy was hospitalized in Grand Forks and is breathing on his own.
