The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association says the new initiative is aimed at enhancing the safety and well-being of student-athletes, coaches, and spectators across the state. 24 schools throughout Wisconsin are getting the AEDs, with 14 distributed randomly and 10 given out using Department of Public Instruction data. Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death among young athletes. AEDs, when used promptly, can significantly increase the chances of survival. Local schools that have received the AED’s include River Ridge, Delavan-Darien High School, and Madison Memorial High School.
