Casas had a previous best time of a 3:38.22 that he swam back in October 2020 back when he was at Texas A&M. He swam the race in his own heat tonight as a member of the Texas pro group.
Casas arrived at Texas in 2022 while the team was under Eddie Reese. He stayed for the coaching change this past summer as well as Bob Bowman arrived from Arizona State.
Already seeing success this year under Bowman, Casas won the SC World Championship title last month in the 200 IM. He also helped the US to numerous gold medals at the relay level. The meet was a huge bounce back after he missed the final of the 200 IM at the 2024 Paris Olympics, finishing 9th in semifinals.
