Larry Zirgibel, a familiar face at track meets across Minnesota, died Friday.
The Boyceville, Wisconsin resident, who was to be the starter at the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championships last weekend, suffered an apparent heart attack on Thursday and was pronounced dead on Friday. MIAC officials observed a moment of silence in his honor at the meet.
Zirgibel, 60, was a USA Track and Field master official who served the sport both locally and nationally. He is survived by his wife Donna, who is also a USATF master official.
Zirgibel will be buried this afternoon in La Crosse, Wisconsin
