Streamwood High chess player saves 7-year-old from drowning

February 17, 2015

Andrew Wilson said he was nervous when he got to apply his CPR training for the first time, saving the life of a 7-year-old girl who nearly drowned. The 16-year-old from Elgin was in Peoria last Friday for the Illinois High School Association's annual chess tournament where it happened. "I was glad and stunned that what I had done had actually worked," Andrew said Monday. "I had heard stories of CPR working ... and not working."
