No one predicted Shaine Casas would emerge as the most promising male backstroker at the Phillips 66 National Championships, and he has a reason for that.
“I’m a butterflyer,†Casas said. “It’s just it hasn’t come out yet. So I’m sticking with what I’m swimming well with right now.â€
Casas won the 100-meter backstroke Saturday with a time of 52.72 seconds, making him the fifth-fastest performer in the world this year.
