NY (AP) -- Top length athlete Ryan Shay died throughout the U.S. men's Olympic marathon trials Saturday after crumbling about 5 1/2 miles in to the competition. He was 28. Shay was taken fully to Lenox Hill Hospital and was pronounced dead at 8:46 a.m., Ny Road Runners leader Mary Wittenberg said. "It reduces a knife through everyone's hearts," said Wittenberg, whose team prepared the competition. She said Shay obtained immediate medical attention. The medical examiner's office said an autopsy is likely to be done Sunday. "There were a few levels of medical response. It had been really quick," said Wittenberg, who'd not elaborate on which measures were taken. Fullstory: http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/new...v=ap&type=lgns
