Answer 1

To find the two runners that had a finish time difference of 0.24 seconds, we can calculate the time differences between every pair of runners:

- Keyunta (49.78) and Mica (48.44):
Difference = 49.78 - 48.44 = 1.34 seconds

- Keyunta (49.78) and Jumarcus (50.51):
Difference = 50.51 - 49.78 = 0.73 seconds

- Keyunta (49.78) and Elijah (50.02):
Difference = 50.02 - 49.78 = 0.24 seconds

- Mica (48.44) and Jumarcus (50.51):
Difference = 50.51 - 48.44 = 2.07 seconds

- Mica (48.44) and Elijah (50.02):
Difference = 50.02 - 48.44 = 1.58 seconds

- Jumarcus (50.51) and Elijah (50.02):
Difference = 50.51 - 50.02 = 0.49 seconds

The only pair with a difference of 0.24 seconds is Keyunta and Elijah.

So, the correct answer is: **Keyunta and Elijah**.
