Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there was no club swimming, and a delayed preseason consisted of Zooming on computers and phones rather than in the water.
When Casares got a chance, finally, to race in the pool, he immediately set personal bests. By the end of the season, the sophomore broke a long-standing school record and was a dual KVAC champion. These accomplishments earn Casares the title of Sun Journal All-Region Boys Swimmer of the Year.
“I wasn’t even sure we were going to have a season this year, so once we got in the pool I worked as hard as I could, just trying to be faster,” Casares said.
