A show of good sportsmanship by a high school runner has gone viral.

According to the Indianapolis Star, it happened during Saturday’s during a state cross-country meet. When one runner noticed a competitor from another school had fallen he paused to help him up, and both continued to the finish.

I have no idea who these two high school runners were, but great sportsmanship by one of the boys to help a fellow competitor who was struggling to finish. pic.twitter.com/cx90k85fHc

The young runner named Terre Haute told the Indy Star, “I just kind of saw it and did it, I guess that’s how my parents raised me. They taught me to treat others how I’d want to be treated, and to be helpful when I can.”
