Texas' Dax Hill claimed the consolation title in 42.63, while Ohio State's Jason Schnur placed second in 42.70. Texas A&M's John Dalton (43.15), USC's Dimitri Colupaev (43.17), Alabama's Bjoern Hornikel (43.29), Arizona's Giles Smith (43.45), Florida's Bradley deBorde (43.62) and Virginia's Peter Geissinger (43.76) snared the rest of the team points in the consolation heat.
