After primarily being a mid-distance butterfly specialist his whole career, Van Mathias switched up his training during his 5th year and became an NCAA All-American for Indiana in sprint free and breaststroke. After that year, Mathias stepped away from competing and became IU Swimming's Director of Operations.
However, this past June, when Mathias and the IU coaching staff saw the results from the US Trials, they all thought that Mathias could be up there wtih the best. 8 weeks of training later and Mathias competed at US Nationals in Irvine, qualifying for the Pan Pacific Championship team with a 26.76 50 Breast.
Mathis continues to be the Director of Ops for IU swimming and is training on the side. Competing at the first World Cup stop in Carmel, he made the final in both the 50 and 100 breast, finishing 5th in the 50 and 3rd in the 100.
