Welcome Home, Shaine Casas!

Our hometown Olympian, Shaine Casas, made a special visit to the McAllen Public Library, and the entire community couldn’t be prouder. A McAllen High School graduate, Shaine was selected for the 2024 Olympic Swim Team and represented the United States in the men’s 200-meter individual medley (IM) in Paris. Competing on the world’s biggest stage, Shaine demonstrated not only his incredible talent but also the grit and determination that has earned him recognition as one of the top swimmers in the world.

While the 2024 Olympics was a significant milestone, Shaine is not stopping there. With his sights set on the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, he’s already gearing up for even more rigorous training, aiming to continue his journey of excellence.

The Rio Grande Valley (RGV) couldn’t be prouder of Shaine’s accomplishments. His perseverance and dedication are an inspiration to athletes and dreamers everywhere. We can’t wait to cheer him on as he continues to make waves—both in and out of the pool.

Shaine Casas, you are destined for greatness, and the entire RGV will be with you every step of the way. Keep shining and inspiring us all!
