Tim Phillips finished second in the men’s 100 fly Thursday night at the U.S. National Championships in Indianapolis, qualifying for the World Champs team bound for Budapest.

Phillips swam at the 2015 Worlds after Michael Phelps was booted from that team, but this is the first time he had ever qualified for a World Champs on his own merits. Phillips described his emotions when he saw that he had finished second and discussed how the swim affects his outlook on the sport and his future competing.
