    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. actually I edited that as quick as possible and u weren't supposed to have gotten that version. it came off pretty bad as written that's why I changed it to.something that was more what I was after with my question.
