TYR Pro Series: Shaine Casas Delivers Quick 200 IM; Caeleb Dressel Shares Title in 100 Freestyle

Performance of the Week, sponsored by Luma Lanes

It wasn’t hard to pinpoint the most-anticipated event of the final session of the TYR Pro Series stop in San Antonio. It was the men’s 200-meter individual medley, which was stacked with talent – both established and rising. Ultimately, it was Shaine Casas who walked away with the victory, as he touched the wall in a personal best of 1:56.70, the top time in the world this year.

With his best two strokes at the front of the race, Casas unsurprisingly attacked the butterfly and backstroke legs to build a commanding lead. The key for Casas was remaining strong enough over the final 100 meters, and he did just that to fend off the hard-charging finishes of Leon Marchand (1:56.95) and Chase Kalisz (1:57.10), whose early-April times bode well for the summer ahead.

Casas was almost a second ahead of Michael Andrew at the midway mark, with his lead over Kalisz at 1.31 seconds and his edge over Marchand at 1.32. By the end of the breaststroke leg, Marchand and Kalisz had cut their deficits to under a second. However, Casas held it together on the freestyle leg to prevail, marking his third win of the meet. Casas previously won the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke. Andrew touched fourth in 1:59.11.

Coming off an NCAA title and record in the 200-yard version of the event, Marchand will be a medal factor for France at the World Championships this summer. Meanwhile, a superb battle is shaping up for the USA Swimming International Team Trials later this month in Greensboro, with any of Casas, Kalisz or Andrew capable of claiming victory.

Live Results

Despite being in heavy training, Caeleb Dressel dug deep to grab a piece of the title in the 100 freestyle, the final event of the meet. Dressel shared victory with Andrej Barna, both men touching the wall in 49.13. Barna held a 23.37 to 23.56 lead on Dressel at the turn, but Dressel had the better closing 50 meters to pull even at the finish. With rest ahead of Trials, Dressel should be back to his dominant form in time for the big meets of the summer.

The winner of the 800 freestyle on the first night of action in San Antonio, Tommylee Camblong added the 1500 freestyle title to his collection. Camblong covered the distance in 15:23.33. Anze Erzen finished first in the 200 backstroke in 2:00.96.
