Teen dies suddenly after half marathon in Missouri; family ‘overwhelmed’ by community’s support
A Missouri community was left devastated when a teenage runner died suddenly after crossing the finish line at a half marathon Saturday.
Rudy Zevallos Jr., 18, died after finishing the 13.1-mile race in Waynesville, about 133 miles southwest of St. Louis, according to organizers from the Frog Hill Half Marathon, 10K and Leapfrog 5K.
“The exact cause of his death is unclear at this time, but we do know his body temperature reached a fatal level and his heart stopped,” organizers shared on Facebook Monday.
The Pulaski County Coroner’s Office won’t have Rudy Zevallos Jr.’s cause of death for 6 to 8 weeks, the office told USA TODAY Thursday morning.
Zevallos had just celebrated his 18th birthday in August and he was a senior at Lebanon High School. He planned to graduate early in December and join the Marine Corps like his father, Rudy Zevallos Sr., organizers said.
The Lebanon R-3 School District also shared thoughts on Zevallos’ passing over the weekend, offering condolences to his family and friends.
“Let us stand together and support one another as we face this difficult loss,” the district shared.
Fallen teenager was loved by many
Zevallos was “a remarkable friend, student, brother, and son,” organizers of the Frog Hill event shared on the event’s Facebook page.
He was competitive and determined and was an avid student of the Bible. He often read books about investing, self-improvement and worked hard to be the best version of himself he could be, they said.
When he wasn’t at school, he hiked with his girlfriend, Olivia and worked at 7Brew drive-thru coffee shop. He also spent time working on his car, playing poker and having game nights with his family.
His biggest passion, organizers said, was fitness. He trained in jiu-jitsu and played soccer as a child. He also played football, wrestled and ran track throughout middle and high school.
“Rest was a foreign concept to him,” organizers wrote, lovingly calling him Junior.
His goal on Saturday, organizers said, was to complete the half marathon in under two hours. He completed it in an hour and 58 minutes.
The Zevallos family started a GoFundMe to raise money for his memorial service and as of Thursday, they’ve raised over $27,000.
“We are overwhelmed with the support and love from every single one of you,” the family shared in an update. “We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Jr’s service is going to be amazing.”
He is survived by his mother, his father, two older sisters and a future brother-in-law.

Missouri man arrested for Fond du Lac Co. road rage incident involving FedEx driver on I-41
FOND DU LAC COUNTY, Wis. (WFRV) – A 26-year-old man from Missouri was arrested after a FedEx driver reported an alleged road rage incident on I-41 in Fond du Lac County early Friday morning.
Around 1:15 a.m., deputies with the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office say they got a 911 call from a FedEx driver reporting a road rage incident. The delivery driver stated the incident happened on I-41 near CTH N within a construction zone.
The caller stated that a vehicle driving in front of him stopped in the only open lane of traffic directly in front of him and “appeared to have a firearm.”
Authorities responded to the area and founf the suspect vehicle in Winnebago County. After a coordinated high-risk traffic stop, the 26-year-old driver from Missouri was detained and arrested for disorderly conduct.
After the man consented to a search of his vehicle, no gun was found.
No other details were provided.

Prosecutor will not charge Missouri residents who sign redistricting repeal petition twice
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – The Jackson County prosecutor announced that her office will not pursue criminal charges against those who may have signed the Congressional Redistricting petition twice.
Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins stated Oct. 15 that he had approved the sponsor of a petition for repealing the recently passed redistricting map to begin collecting signatures.
To qualify for the November 2026 general election ballot, proponents must collect signatures from at least 5% of registered voters in six of Missouri’s eight congressional districts by the statutory deadline.
Hoskins said any signatures gathered before his approval will not count.
Jackson County Prosecutor Melesa Johnson said that Hoskins’ statement has left many Jackson County residents uncertain about whether their signatures would count and whether their voices would be heard.
“State officials announced that signatures collected before Oct. 15 for the redistricting petition would not be counted. They also indicated that circulating the petition early is not a crime,” Johnson said. “If any Jackson County residents had already signed the redistricting petition before Oct. 15 and then learned their signatures may not be counted, they may have signed again to ensure their voices would be heard, unaware that signing a petition twice is technically a misdemeanor criminal offense under Missouri law. ”
Johnson said she will not pursue charges against people who may be caught in that predicament.
“People may have signed again after October 15 because of mixed messaging, not because they were trying to break the law,” she said. “They simply want to ensure their voices were being heard on an issue that directly affects their representation in Congress.”
Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe had convened Missouri’s General Assembly for a special session to enact an updated congressional map, which included a significant change to the Fifth District in Kansas City.
