I believe that the other swimmers in your age group had the opportunity to enter those meets/events. A win is a win. A case in point--our little team here in New Bern competed in the 3000 yd National Postal Championships and placed 1st in the 45-49 Mens relay. Yes, we were the only relay team entered in that age group, but as far as I'm concerned it's a legitimate win. Besides, one of our swimmers on the relay was 60 (Bob Husson).
Regarding the 3000 postal. I just found out that I made the top 10 in my age group (50-54) again. Even though there are only 20-30 in that group it's still an accomplishment.
