More likely a typo, probably. Remember, the webcast is, after all, an 
unofficial record of what happened. The real times get put in later at the 
office after the vet cards are tallied. The amount of mistakes that can 
happen from an in/out timer, telling a radio person, who then makes a list, 
and then radios it to net control for yet another person to make a list, who 
then gives it to my husband, who then reads it to me who types it .... well 
... anything could happen! Although we all try to be as correct about it as 
we can.

So you'll just have to wait until the official results get posted. That 
might be a few months from now, by the time the office gets done with it.
