Beyer named Scholastic All-American

Brady Beyer

Columbus East senior Brady Beyer has been selected as a 2021-22 Scholastic All-American in swimming.

To qualify for the honor, swimmers must have at least one winter junior national time standard and have at least a 3.5 GPA.

Beyer is the second local swimmer to be selected for the honor. Last week, Columbus North senior Daniel Utterback was recognized.

After competing for East as a sophomore, Beyer spent last winter and spring in southern California training with “The Swim Team,” coached by Mark Schubert, the same coach who trained 2021 Olympian Michael Brinegar. Beyer is back in Columbus this fall while Schubert is on assignment in China.

East selling t-shirts for 50-year anniversary

Columbus East is selling t-shirts at its home football and volleyball games commemorating the 50-year anniversary of the opening of Columbus East High School.

The t-shirt sales are part of a larger fundraising effort that the Columbus East Alumni Association is doing called the Olympian Endowment Fund. The fund will support educational, fine arts and athletics programs throughout the school and its students who are unable to participate in extracurricular activities because of the costs involved.

Individuals, groups or businesses can donate with checks payable to CEAA and sent to PO Box 1372, Columbus, IN 47202; by PayPal at cehsalumni@bcsc.k12.in.us or by GoFundMe, searching Columbus East.
