Bears on top
Great technique, fluidity, and body coordination. He is one to watch.
I’m so happy somebody is stepping up to the plate in the 100 fly! With Dressel, Andrew and Casas swimming slower at Trials we were looking at Murphy, a backstroke specialist, to help the US in the Medley Relay! I suppose Australia may be looking at McKeown to swim breast in their Women’s MR, but the US has a much larger population that Australia.
Why isn’t Casas’ 50.40 on this list?
Oops, just saw the tie….🙄
GO DARE! GO BEARS!
Cal could very well have 3/4 legs on the medley relay.
Similar to Peirsol, Hansen, Crocker for Texas.
If Casas doesn’t get moving, your statement will be true.
Cal is cookin’ 🔥
