Fifth fastest spot of the event was obtained by Frank Despond of TSC, who stayed 0.26 seconds slower from his foregoing finisher and hit the wall with an effort of 3 minutes and 56.05 seconds.
Despond was traced by Teddy Kalp of NYAC, who remained 1.03 seconds away from upsetting his former finisher and posted a time of 3 minutes and 57.08.

Eighth fastest spot of the race was obtained by Aly’s teammate, Hassaan Abdel-Khalik, who tapped the finishing end with the timing of 3 minutes and 58.48 seconds.
