Meanwhile, Columbus North junior Daniel Utterback in the 200- and 100-yard freestyle, Columbus East senior Dathan Wolf in the 100 backstroke and the North 400 freestyle relay team earned callbacks to the state finals. They will join the Bull Frogs 200 freestyle relay team, which made the state standard in Saturday’s North Sectional, in this weekend’s Boys Swimming State Finals, which begins with the preliminaries on Friday at IUPUI’s Indiana University Natatorium.
