Promising Collingwood midfielder Tom Phillips has won the club’s 2km time trial for first-to-fourth-year players at Olympic Park on Monday.
Phillips, who had a breakout 2017 season with 18 games, crossed the finish line first and he was closely followed by Josh Smith.
Former Brisbane Lion James Aish rounded out the top three while Brayden Maynard and Rupert Wills finished fourth and fifth respectively.
Conditions were tough for the group with Melbourne reaching its hottest temperature since March (32 degrees).
