A Wichita swimmer comes up short in the U.S. Olympic Trials.
University of Alabama sophomore and Wichita native Drayden Bell placed 28th overall in yesterday's Olympic Trials in Indianapolis.
Bell finished the Men's 50 meter freestyle with a time of 22.52 seconds which gave him the 28th fastest time out of more than 100 hopefuls. It was not, however, fast enough to make the Olympic Team for the 2024 Games in Paris at the end of July. The top time in the event was 21.70 seconds and was notched by two swimmers, Michael Andrew and Ryan Held.
Bell will be able to compete for a spot on Team USA for the 2028 games in Los Angeles.
