This may be old news, but it also is potentially life threatening for those who have it. Coaches and medical staff need to be aware and monitor for it. I hope Wake and really all schools test incoming athletes for Sickle Cell Trait.
Sickle Cell Trait has its advantages in a malaria infested region, but is potentially deadly for individuals in heavy exercise and athletic activities.
Bleacher Report has an article on it.
