North swimmer lands call-back in 500-yard freestyle

Columbus North sophomore Nick Green has received a call-back to this weekend’s Boys Swimming State Finals in the 500-yard freestyle.

Green finished second in the event in 4 minutes, 4.78 seconds in Saturday’s Columbus North Sectional. After the sectional champions, his time was among the next-fastest from around the state to round out the field.

The Bull Frogs now have entries in five events for Friday’s preliminaries at IUPUI’s Indiana University Natatorium. Sam Russell in the 200 individual medley, Thomas Goble in the 50 freestyle and North’s 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle relay teams also have qualified.

North’s Grant Fehribach will attempt to qualify with a top-eight finish in Tuesday’s Bloomington North Diving Regional. State diving action, along with swimming consolations and finals, will be contested Saturday.
