After months of cancer treatment, high school senior Yeva Klingbeil was able to cross the finish line at her last high school track meet -- with a little help from her teammates.

This spring, Klingbeil was cleared to participate in her last high school track and was able to share a special moment with her team when they walked arm-in-arm with her across the finish line.
