Fink competed at his first US Olympic Trials in 2012 at the 2012 USA Swimming Olympic Trials held in Omaha, Nebraska in June and July. He placed 11th in the 100 meter breaststroke with a time of 1:01.14, 17th in the 200 meter breaststroke with a 2:13.89, and 26th in the 200 meter individual medley with his time of 2:03.69.

Fink's swims at both championships earned him a spot on the US National Team in swimming for the 2014—2015 year, making him one of twelve student athletes from the University of Georgia to be named to the year's team. His race in the 200 meter breaststroke at the 2014 Pan Pacific Championships also earned him a nomination for USA Swimming's Golden Goggle Award for "Male Race of the Year".
