    The answer to your question is: no

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data

    Fastest time = 27.93 s

    Second fastest time = 27.97 s

    Claire's time = 27.99 s

    Just remember that to win a race, the athete that wins must register the lowest time.

    Substract Claire's time from the fastest time, if the result is positive, Claire ran slower, if the result is negative Claire ran faster than the previous Girls.

    Difference 1 = 27.99 - 27.93 = 0.06 positive, Claire ran slower

    Difference 2 = 27.99 - 27.97 = 0.02 positive, Claire ran slower.
