Hi! Does anyone know the results of the 1-3 mile OW National meet in NY today?

in retrospect, i think the only fair solution to the lightning situation would have been to stop all the swimmers and do the event over. there was some concern that some people could not stick around for a re-do, but i suspect they would have numbered few. a little post event research has led me to the conclusion that there is no way everyone that claimed to have finished the swim (the flawed honor system at work here) actually did.
the solution was an ad lib one as there were no real guidelines in place to deal with such a situation, but i think in the future, only a do-over should be considered for a national championship event.
