FRISCO, Texas — One student died and another was arrested on a murder charge after a stabbing at a Frisco high school track meet Wednesday morning, police and family members confirmed to WFAA. The stabbing happened around 10 a.m. at the University Interscholastic League’s (UIL) District 11-5A championship track meet, which was being held at the Frisco Independent School District’s Kuykendall Stadium.
The victim who died was 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. Family members told WFAA that he was a student athlete at Frisco’s Memorial High School. His twin brother Hunter, described him as a peacemaker and was loved by all his friends. Meghan Metcalf, Austin’s mother, said she rushed to the hospital as soon as Hunter called her. “My son is not here anymore, and I don’t understand it,” she grieved. “He was the most amazing kid. So smart. He had college football guys looking at him to play in college. His goal was to play in college.” Police said officers had responded around 10 a.m. to an altercation between two students.
One of the students was stabbed by the other, according to police. Hunter Metcalf told WFAA that he was there when Austin was stabbed and tried to save his life by stopping the blood. “I tried to whip around as fast as I could,” Hunter said with tears in his eyes. “I looked at my brother and I’m not going to talk about the rest.
I tried to help him.” Hunter said he held his brother until first responders started attempting resuscitation. Frisco police said CPR was performed on the victim, and blood was administered, but Metcalf later died. “[Austin] did everything for our family,” said Hunter. “As a linebacker, he was a stud, and I always tried to fill those shoes and play with him. I had a blast my whole life playing sports with him.” Full interview with Meghan and Hunter Metcalf :
