Emory's Andrew Wilson Off To Strong Start At Phillips 66 Championships

Emory University's Andrew Wilson enjoyed an auspicious debut on Thursday at the Phillips 66 National Swimming Championships in San Antonio, Texas.

Wilson topped the field in the 100-meter breaststroke prelims, posting a time of 59.68 seconds, the lone competitor out of 83 entries to crack the one-minute mark and which would have qualified for the 2012 Olympic Team.

Wilson will take his top-seeded time into the finals on Thursday evening, with the 100-meter breaststroke slated to start at approximately 8:00 pm (EDT).

Wilson is also scheduled to swim in the 200-meter breaststroke later on in the Championships.
