Teen Saves Hendersonville Man’s Life with CPR

A Sumner County high school student, Katelyn Williams, 18, helped save a man’s life while working her lifeguard shift at the YMCA.

As she was finishing her shift on what had been a slow evening, a man suddenly collapsed in the men’s locker room.

Without hesitation, Williams, a senior at Liberty Creek High School, began administering CPR alongside her co-worker until paramedics arrived.

The man, Billy Austin, was hospitalized with pneumonia and required surgery, and before his release, Williams made sure to visit him.
