Kasley attended the University of Michigan, and swam for the Michigan Wolverines swimming and diving team in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) competition from 1935 to 1937.[3] During his three-year college swimming career, he won three consecutive NCAA national championships in the 200-yard butterfly (1935, 1936, 1937), and was also a member of Michigan's NCAA-winning teams in the 300-yard medley relay (1935, 1936, 1937).[3][4]
