“I’ve never had a meet where I’ve just been so excited and happy to be there, happy to jump… When I went (to the NACAC Championships), I really wasn’t expecting to jump 13.55m… I heard that and was like, ‘Wow.’ No matter what I jump, I'm always like, ‘It could have been better.’ But I executed that perfectly.”

Philips shares about her record-setting 13.55m jump that led her to the 2023 NACAC triple jump title, her excitement for joining the Florida Gators this fall, her dream NIL deals, and why she chose to go all-in on triple jump.
