KU students save young boy in trouble on a Florida beach

by the Associated Press:

Three University of Kansas fraternity brothers on a spring break trip to Florida are credited with rescuing a young boy from a riptide.

Sigma Phi Epsilon brothers Jared Cox of Overland Park, Connor Churchhill of Olathe and Cole Firmature of Omaha went to a beach on March 11 in Destin, Florida. They were at a beach bar when they heard a woman cry out for a lifeguard and point to the water.

There was no lifeguard patrolling the beach at the time and the three men sprinted to the water.

They spotted a young boy drifting on a boogie board 40 yards out into the ocean. Together, the three men swam out and brought the child to shore by pushing him on his board.
