One day after breaking a personal record, a high school athlete from Nebraska died suddenly. Hunter Palter, 18, who was a senior at Wisner-Pilger High School collapsed May 5 and died later that day, according to the U.K. Daily Mail. “It is with a very heavy heart that we can confirm that Hunter Palmer, senior at Wisner-Pilger Schools, has died,” the school said in a statement. The day before he died, Palmer competed in two events at a track meet. He cleared a personal best of 6 feet 1 inch in the high jump to win the event, according to the Omaha World-Herald. Palmer was also the third-lap runner in his high school’s 1,600-meter relay team, which finished second.
