On a team ranked No. 2 in the country, it can be difficult to stand out. Senior swimmer Neil Caskey has done this and more for the Longhorns all season long.
Caskey has dominated the competition this season, winning at least one event in every meet except one. To those closest to the team this comes as no surprise.
In a meet rescheduled to Saturday because of Friday’s inclement weather, Texas defeated Texas A&M 170-127.5 with 10 wins from eight different swimmers.
The confusion didn’t stop with the weather as swimmers on both teams were forced to compete in different events than initially planned as a result of the day change.
The Longhorns have a knack for winning swimming national championships — nine to be exact, with three in the past decade (2000, 2001, 2002).
Under the guidance of eight-time NCAA Coach of the Year Eddie Reese, the No. 2 Longhorns (6-1) traveled to Columbus, Ohio on Monday in an attempt to secure a 10th NCAA championship at Ohio State’s McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion. Competition begins Friday and finals end Sunday evening.
