Boot campers work as a team to save one of their own

Subramaniam’s was gasping, his arms and hands were stiff, and he began to turn grey. Mike and Shannon were quickly at Subramaniam’s side... "This is when it dawned on me … we have an AED.”

Wednesday, October 4, 2016 started like any other day for Subramaniam Sundar. As this 61-year-old Indian-born husband and father of two drove from his home in San Jose, CA to his morning boot camp class, he thought of nothing more than getting in a little early-morning exercise before he started his work day as a chip designer at Toshiba.

At Evergreen Valley High School’s track – where the fitness class was held – was Mike Coleman, the 60-year-old class
instructor who owns and runs Focused Integrated Training and is a PE teacher and coach at the nearby Davis Intermediate School. Also in attendance were Shannon Opilla, a 47-year-old registered nurse and Michelle Layton, the high school’s 45-year-old PE teacher.

What happened next would call on the quick thinking and skills of these three boot camp attendees, all of whom were CPR-certified.
