ST. GEORGE — Three teenagers in Beaver acted quickly to save a man's life, and two of them were honored with the highest award given by the American Red Cross on Wednesday.

Caprie McNeill and Brailee Eyre worked alongside their friend Kelci Haywood to administer CPR to Kelci's father after he fell into medical distress on Feb. 16.

McNeill and Eyre were honored for those efforts by the American Red Cross on Wednesday evening in a ceremony on the campus of Dixie Technical College in St. George.

"The American Red Cross Certificate of Merit bears the signature of the president of the United States," said Benjamin Donner, executive director of the American Red Cross Central and Southern Utah Chapter.
