1 October 2010 2:30 PM - On Thursday, 10 people were taken to hospitals for treatment of heat-related illnesses suffered during a cross-country event for high school students held at Pierce College in the Woodland Hills area of Los Angeles where the day's high was 97.
The Los Angeles Unified School District said 25 of its schools were among the 40 participating and it was reviewing the situation.
An LAUSD statement said coaches met beforehand and decided to proceed with the event, but a few students began to become distressed after a few races and the event was canceled at 4 p.m.
