Nothing keynoted the swimming competition or the week itself more sharply than the women's 100-meter freestyle race, the first finals in the rapid white-water stream of them. When a Swiss timepiece was unable to choose between Carrie Steinseifer and Nancy Hogshead, duplicate gold medals were struck, and naturally those two were immediately dubbed the Gold Dust Twins.

The AAU seems to have been purposely harsh in enforcing the code for the first time since it was adopted in August 1977. "It is our contention that these kinds of things...
Last night the atmosphere at Blodgett was completely different. Led by 17-year-old workhorse Nancy Hogshead, who swam a phenomenal total of seven events during the two-day swimfest, American swimmers(including 4-year-old phenom Cvnthia Woodhead, who swam for Riverside Aquatic Association instead of the national team because she was under suspension) took all three of the individual high point scorer awards...
...Hogshead, the high school junior from Jacksonville, Fla., who holds the American record in the 200-yd. butterfly, led the way with a sixth in the 200 back, a silver medal in the 100 fly, a fourth in the 200 individual medley and a bronze medal with the American "B" team in the 400 freestyle relay on Saturday night; followed by a fourth in the 400 individual medley, a singularly impressive silver medal in the 200 fly, and then a climactic gold for her butterfly leg of the American 400 medley relay on Sunday night...
