Julie Anderson Omaha World-Herald Brandon Schutt unintentionally created a bit of a media splash in 2021 when he stopped to help a fellow runner who had fallen during a district cross country meet. Schutt, then a senior at Bellevue East High School, and Blake Cerveny, the Omaha Burke freshman he aided, were featured on the NBC Nightly News. Bellevue Mayor Rusty Hike declared Nov. 16 'Brandon Schutt Day' in Bellevue. Now Schutt, who turns 19 at the end of the month, is again combining his love of running with his passion for helping others.
