To begin with, it didn't even meet the minimum wage requirement. grammar - First, Second, Third, and Finally - English Language & Usage ... first. Definition #9. adv.

In the UK, Australia and New Zealand, "placed" would be understood to be in the top three. My understanding is a place in the US means first or second. Medallist/medalled (UK spelling) or medalist/medaled (US spelling) might work if a medal was awarded. One more possibility is podium finish - the first three in a motor sport event or cycling.

In any sort of competition, you generally have a winner (first place), runners up (2nd place through Nth place), sometimes an Honorable Mention placement award, and then everyone else who participated but did not "place" at all. I got first place in a competition where it's possible to tie. How ... In practice, first place is just called first place. If you'd shared the position, it'd be joint first place.
