Coming off a sub-51 performance in the 100-meter butterfly the previous night, Casas won the 200 individual medley at the Austin Sectionals on Saturday evening. Casas put together a mark of 1:57.63, which was a little more than a second faster than training partner <strong>Carson Foster<\/strong>, who went 1:58.88. Third place was claimed by <strong>Rex Maurer<\/strong> in 1:59.59.<\/p>\n<p>The silver medalist in the 200 IM at last summer&#8217;s World Championships, Casas will have multiple event options at Pan Pacs, which will run from August 12-15 at the William Woollett Aquatic Center. However, the 200 medley will undoubtedly be part of Casas&#8217; program, with the 26-year-old seeking to continue his momentum in the event. At the last Worlds, Casas was timed in 1:54.30, making him the No. 4 performer in history.<\/p>\n<p>In the women&#8217;s 200 IM, <strong>Regan Smith<\/strong> picked up her fourth victory of the meet, behind a time of 2:11.17. She returned to the pool shortly after and grabbed win No. 5 in the 50 butterfly, a mark of 26.04 doing the trick. During the first three days of the meet, Smith won the 200 butterfly, 100 backstroke and 200 backstroke. Meanwhile, <strong>Jillian Cox<\/strong> was triumphant in the 1500 freestyle, going 16:10.21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shaine Casas Cruises to Title in 200 IM at Austin Sectionals;
