According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em><\/a>, Scheberies, a rising sophomore on UNLV\u2019s women\u2019s team, was swimming with friends at Beale Falls, a natural swimming hole in Nevada County, California. Scheberies was in the water when Francisco Chavez,<\/strong> 16, made a 70-foot jump from a cliff, landed wrong and apparently lost consciousness. Scheberies and her three friends swam to Chavez, pulled him from the water and waited for a helicopter to arrive to transport him to a hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still replaying it in my mind. Wrapping my head around what we did, and how we did it,\u201d Scheberies said. \u201cI\u2019m very proud of our friendship of how we came together so perfectly and saved someone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chavez suffered a sprained knee, sprained neck and a concussion. He\u2019s a rising senior at Live Oak High School in Sacramento and a lineman on the football team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just so thankful for them. They\u2019re literally like my guardian angels,\u201d Chavez said. \u201cI\u2019m going to keep in contact with them probably for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scheberies is a distance swimmer from Castro Valley, Calif.<\/a>, some three hours from Beale Falls, which is northeast of Sacramento in the relatively remote interior of the Golden State. Scheberies attended Castro Valley High School and swam for the San Ramon Sharks. Scheberies and her friends, Lauren Francis, Sarah Livingston<\/strong> and Malia Henry,<\/strong> swam together in high school. Henry is a former lifeguard.<\/p>\n
