Overheating combined with dehydration is a dangerous combination. I remember doing laps around the football field to prepare for track. The exertion was so much I had to vomit, which can dehydrate the body.

According to Dr. Google: “Heat exhaustion can lead to heatstroke, a life-threatening condition that occurs when your core body temperature reaches 104 F (40 C) or higher. Heatstroke requires immediate medical attention to prevent permanent damage to your brain and other vital organs that can result in death.”

The amount of competition on these youth teams is causing the kids to work themselves to death. Yikes!

What was the temperature outside.. in NJ for that day...

[Rocco DiPippo]

Yes, of course! As we all know, New Jersey's as hot as the Sahara in February and heat exhaustion and heat stroke is a serious issue in that state. Also, it's not extraordinary for healthy children and healthy adults with no medical conditions to drop dead of no apparent causes.

I remember back when I was in HS that we lost 10-12 classmates and several parents, all of whom were healthy and suddenly died. Later, it was determined that the "Climate Catastrophe," Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia and White Supremacy had been contributing factors to their deaths.

The gold lamé shorts probably didn't help you wick sweat either.
