Hi,
would appreciate any help you could give me

I've got the fowling table,

Event Rank Athlete Time Tournament
50 Freestyle 1 John Doe 00:23.61 Easter
50 freestyle 2 John Smith 00:23.89 Easter
400 freestyle 6 Jay Silva 03:46.78 Easter
50 freestyle 1 John Smith 00:23.61 Spring
100 freestyle 8 John Doe II 00:48.64 Spring

Each event has 8 athletes and each Tournament has several events.
My gold is to get the fastest 8 times(with the names of the athletes)
of the season in every event regardless of the tournament.
So far I was able to rank the fastest 8 times. My problem is in getting
the athletes names. Any thoughts?
