I was wondering what happens if in semi-finals two people show the same result which would place them in the 8th position?obviously only one can go on to the finals, but how is it decided who gets to go and who is out?
And back to the original question…
At the Eastern’s (college) meet yesterday there was a tie for 25th place (first alternate) in the 500 free at 4:37.71. In the swim-off at the end of prelims Andrew Thorn of Navy beat out Kent Garber of Yale 4:37.04 to 4:38.12.
As a foot note, the top 24 all returned for finals, so neither Andrew or Kent made it back to the bonus heat of the finals.
