The person who was really penalized by the failure to measure was Diane Uustal who lost a slew of USMS records as a result.
Diane set two WRs at the meet. She since went faster in one of those events in a measured SCM pool, so she has that USMS record with a faster time. In the other event she subsequently went a hair slower and her TTR is working with the meet director to get that event approved as a USMS record.
As an aside to any TTRs: this is a good reason to keep those bulkhead measurements on file. They need to be submitted with USMS record applications, but not for TTR submissions (they need to be DONE but don't have to be mailed out). However, VERY often a record is not recognized until the times are submitted for TT consideration, possibly months after the meet. But if the TTR kept the measurements and the meed director kept the meet paperwork -- as they both should -- then it is still possible to submit the record application.
