The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) said it will update its mask requirements for outside sports after a high school runner collapsed at the finish line.
Maggie Williams, a junior on the Summit High School track team, broke the school record for 800 meters by running the distance in 2:08:45 minutes, beating the previous record of 2:10:54 set in 2019.
But just moments before crossing the finish line, Williams collapsed on the track.
“I found out a couple minutes after my race, when I had recovered from my fall,” Williams told NewsChannel 21 Monday. “So super exciting for me.”
