[OS X TeX] Table in SF family with longtable package

[George LGhio]

Hi Nathan

This works for me in Tabular

\textsf{\begin{tabular}{llll}
G & U/21& Breastroke & R. Murrell\\
G & U/21 & Freestyle & J. Hudgson\\
G & U/21 & Butterfly & J. Hudgson\\
G & U/21 & Backstroke & R. Murrell
\end{tabular}}

Might work in table as well
