Lubbock ISD recognizes athletic trainer Lacey Steele for saving football player Zaidyn Ward’s life after he collapsed on the field. Zaidyn was in cardiac arrest. Ward and his family say that without Lacey’s quick action he may not have lived. 

“[S]he says she was just doing her job.”

““It really puts purpose into what you do every day, makes it really worth it, makes you want to be at work,” Steele said.”
