Michael Phelps has gotten through his toughest night of the U.S. Olympic swimming trials.
After beating Ryan Lochte in the 200-meter individual medley Friday, Phelps returned to the pool 30 minutes later to post the sixth-fastest time in the semifinals of the 100 butterfly.
That was good enough to send Phelps to the final Saturday night, where he'll try to lock up a third individual event for the Rio Games.
Phelps also qualified in the 200 fly.
Seth Stubblefield was the fastest qualifier in the 100 fly at 51.26 seconds, just ahead of Tim Phillips (51.28).
