Thanks for the mention. Casey walked on and developed himself into a an exceptional technician with the shot, while redefining himself physically. He ran 50 sets of stairs daily, and modified his diet to reduce from 280 to an athletic 217. He has a very positive spirit, and is strong in every way. He was up at 4 AM Sunday, made the trip back from Flagstaff, and went straight to the track for practice in the snow with teammate Morgan Norgaard. Unstoppable.
