It's not either the heat or the humidity, Dr. Wulsin says: it is over-dressing that robs tropical residents of their energy...
...Wulsin explains with much mathematics how the human body keeps itself at the proper temperature. Heat escapes by radiation, by convection and conduction to the air and through the cooling effect of evaporation. When it does not escape fast enough, the temperature of the internal organs rises. The heart pumps harder to carry more blood to the surface. Sometimes so much blood is needed for carrying heat that not enough remains to make the body work properly...

This kept the varsity out of the finals because only the three heat victors and the fastest second-place finisher advanced...
