TROST HAS SAVED MORE THAN BASKETBALL GAMES

Even as he was running toward the burning vehicle, Gary Trost never gave it a second thought. He is an athlete, an all-conference center for the BYU basketball team, no less, and he was doing what athletes do best: react. There are seconds to be lost in hesitation, seconds that could cost a game or a life. Besides, Trost had made this play before. On a hot August evening in Idaho last summer, Trost and his wife Sheri were driving on Highway 20 in Idaho when they came to the accident. Only seconds earlier, the crumpled Suburban had been carrying the Lund family from their home in Las Vegas to Yellowstone. The father and mother, Dave and Sheryl, were in the front seat, along with their 17-year-old son, Dan. Their other four children - Melissa , Heather , Jessica Holly - were in the back seat.
