18-Year-Old Duluth Runner Dies in Sleep

Matt Kero, a 2011 high school graduate who represented Duluth Denfeld and Duluth Central in track, cross country, and hockey was found dead yesterday morning after apparently dying in his sleep.

Kevin Pates of the Duluth News-Tribune has the full story HERE.

Kero, 18, was a finalist at 1600-meters at the MSHSL Class AA State Meet last spring, running 4:29.96 for 13th place. Kero was planing to attend St. Scholastica this fall and continue his running career.

In the Duluth News-Tribune story, Kero is described by one of his high school coaches as a fearless competitor with a strong work ethic.

According to the story, funeral arrangements are still pending.
