Some USS meets are dual santioned USS & USMS and if Santa Clara was, that swim might count
If he was USMS registered and
if he or the meet officials submitted the proper paperwork and
if he sent in his birth Cert to Walt Reid.
If the meet was dual sanctioned, he would have had to declare prior to the meet that he was competing as a masters swimmer, rather than as a USA-S swimmer. The form for doing this is here:
www.usms.org/.../gto_sanctions_declaration_of_intent.pdf
That would mean, for example, that he would have represented his USMS club and not competed in any relays for his USA-S team.
This is all from FINA, by the way, not USMS (which accepts swims at USA-S meets as national masters records as long as all the necessary paperwork is completed). It took a lot of persuading for FINA to even accept the dual-sanction concept.
