WATCH: When 13-year-old girl collapses during track meet...her twin sister steps in

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Chloe and Claire Gruenke are very close.

They're 13-year-old twin sisters who spent the weekend competing at the Southern Illinois State Track Meet.

The girls were running the 800, when all of a sudden, Chloe was having trouble.

“I felt something pull and pop in my thigh -- and then around the second lap it hurt and I couldn’t go anymore and I fell to the ground," Chloe Gruenke said.

That's when something amazing happened.

Claire Gruenke put her sister on her back -- and they finished the race together.
