His biggest success came at the 2002 Commonwealth Games held in Manchester, England where he won the silver medal. He also competed in the IAAF World Cup held in Madrid, Spain that same year.
Earlier in his sporting career he represented New Zealand in Rugby union, when from November 1984 to January 1985 he toured the United Kingdom with the New Zealand Secondary Schools Rugby union Team. Later that year he was again picked for the New Zealand Secondary Schools Rugby union Team who toured Australia.
World Cup
In this competition Philip finished ahead of Michael Jones who a few weeks earlier had beaten Philip in the Commonwealth Games.
New Zealand Track & Field Championships
Philip has had a very long career, with some interesting statistics relating to national titles, as follows:-
Personal Best
His personal best is 72.06m, achieved in February 1998 in Auckland, New Zealand.
Sevens
Represented Waikato in 7s Rugby at the New Zealand National Tournament.
Fifteens
Member of extended Waikato Squad as a Prop in 1990 after retiring from Athletics. However, with Waikato featuring what would become an all All Blacks front row (Richard Loe, Graham Purvis, Warren Gatland), it would be difficult for Philip to make it into the starting fifteen.
Member of Waikato 'B' Team. Preferring to play in the backline, Philip successfully switched from Hooker to Wing at a representative level.
