8-year-old daughter of Trinity OC dies in Texas floods - ESPN

Trinity University said on Friday night that 8-year-old Kellyanne Lytal, the daughter of Tigers offensive coordinator Wade Lytal, was confirmed dead after being missing since the Guadalupe River floods hit the Texas Hill Country last week.

Kellyanne was one of the girls from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp in Hunt, Texas. Officials have said 27 campers and counselors died in the floodwaters that rapidly swamped the campground.

«Our entire community grieves with the Lytal family, to whom we extend our deepest sympathies and unwavering support,» Trinity University said on social media. «We know this loss will be felt across our campus and beyond.»

Trinity is a Division III program in San Antonio, Texas. For many Texans, summer camps in the Hill Country are a rite of passage, and Wade Lytal, a 2009 graduate of Trinity who played offensive line for the Tigers, posted last Sunday that Kellyanne was missing from the camp, located about 85 miles away from their San Antonio home, after the storm. He included a video of her singing in her Christmas pageant.
