Why would you want to be indicated #1 if you AREN'T #1? Wouldn't it be like taking a blue ribbon when you placed second?
As it is, I feel like all of my places should be asterisk'd simply because I know there are faster people out there than me that maybe didn't swim LCM season.
Shrug.
Why would you pick up your gold medal at USMS Nationals if you knew that you aren't #1 in the nation? Aren't you considered a National Champion by winning there?
Why would you pick up any medal. Ever?! Of course they are always people faster than you. That's why it's Master swimming and not open swimming.
The Trials times were added very recently to the Top Ten lists. OT were a while ago. Of course it's a bummer when you suddenly drop 2-3 spots when you bust your butt all LCM season to reach your goals.
But that's just my personal opinion. Like you have yours.
