Osula makes states in 50 yard freestyle

BUFFALO — Fredonia High School swimmer Bill Osula missed the state finals in one event, but made it in another.

Osula finished third in the 100 yard backstroke finals at the Section 6 boys swimming championships Friday at Alumni Arena. His time of 55.86 was not quite enough to make the state finals in the event. However, his Thursday preliminary-round time of 55.29 broke Greg Rush’s 39-year-old Fredonia High record in the event.

Osula did make the March 2-3 state finals in an event — the 50 yard freestyle, not the 100 yard backstroke as incorrectly stated in a story on page B1 of Friday’s OBSERVER. Osula made states in the 50 free on the strength of his time of 22.17 during his preliminary-round swim on Thursday. Osula finished eighth in Friday’s Section 6 50 free final with a time of 22.54.
