Simonas Bilis was inarguably one of the most emotional swimmers during the first night of finals at the men’s NCAA championships, and in an interview after the session, he talked about the disqualification in the 200 free relay and subsequent third place in the 50 free.

Bilis said NC State’s DQ in the relay was unfortunate, but said the outcome lit a fire in him for the individual 50 free about an hour later.
