The student who most likely had an error in the results is Owen.

This is because in the data for Ball 2, Owen recorded a time of 0.37 seconds, which is significantly lower than the other recorded times for Ball 2 by the other students (0.51 and 0.52 seconds). This discrepancy in the recorded time suggests that Owen may have made an error in measuring the time for Ball 2 to hit the ground.
