ALBION, Ind. — A Noble County teenager used her CPR training to save a toddler in trouble. The 2-year-old nearly drowned while swimming at Chain O' Lakes State Park. But quick thinking by the local teen made all the difference.

Life is pretty much back to normal for Kalyn Sprague, a 17-year-old senior at Central Noble High School.

This past Saturday, she was working her part-time job at Chain O' Lakes State Park.

“And then I look up and I see the mom and she's coming up the ramp from the beach and she's hysterical,” Sprague recalled.

Kalyn said the boy was under water for a minute or two, and was not breathing.

“And I take the child from her and lay him down on the grass,” Sprague said. “I start compressions and I look around and the closest man to me I ask to do the mouth breathing for me."

After several minutes, the boy started breathing on his own.

She said when she responded to the call for help, she developed a kind of tunnel vision, focusing all of her efforts on the 2-year-old.

"Everything kind of freezes, you don't see anything else around you,” Sprague explained. “I saw the boy and that was it. I was surprised by little details that pop out at you — you have all that adrenalin running through you — how blue his lips were, how cold his skin felt and when he opened his eyes, how brown they were.”

She said she's received word the boy is recovering nicely.
