Geneva High School athletic trainer Nicole Collins saved a student's life at the homecoming dance, the school said.

School officials said Nicole Collins had volunteered to chaperone the homecoming dance on Sept. 17. At the dance, a 17-year-old senior collapsed and stopped breathing while dancing in the school gym.

Collins said she was outside around 9 p.m., supervising students, when the music stopped suddenly. She went inside and saw a school administrator carrying the student, and jumped into action. "In my mind, I was doing my job. If I had not been there, the outcome would have been much different," she said.

Collins began CPR and chest compressions, and called for the administrator to get a defibrillator. A Geneva police officer at the dance called an ambulance.The student was taken to Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital in Geneva where it was discovered she had suffered a seizure. Her father said he was grateful the school has trained staff in CPR so that they were able to help her during her medical emergency.
