Boy saves boy at Lawrence pool honors 12 year old hero
Josiah Asberry, 12, pulled Jordan Seiger, 5, from the deep end of the Lawrence Aquatic Center after noticing him struggle. Jordan, unable to swim, swam near the diving board with a Boys and Girls Club group while Asberry waited in line with the South Park Summer Playground program. He said he acted to help in distress, not as a hero, and discussed the incident with Jordan and his mother Dayna Seiger. Seiger planned to reward him with a monthlong pool pass. Meanwhile Sunflower Girls State delegates from 225 high schools in Kansas returned home Friday after a week at KU and a Statehouse awards ceremony.
