[26mi235]

Two of my track favorites to make the team: Felix and Lee (an both bean poles among sprinters).

Any chance Felix will do a Gay and only run 1 or 2 rounds?

Felix probably won't even contest this event at nationals

Is this your educated guess or is it inside news?

[knite]

I think she will opt to conserve her efforts for other races on the circuit, as she has the bye into the WC's with having won the last title.

Of course I have no idea as to what her actual plan is, so just a guess here.

[longingfornia]

No Muna...wow...

Think she will get 5th as Williams and Hooker will be hungry after not making it in the 100

[texas_speed]

1) Muna will not get 5th in the 200

2) You have Williams AND Hooker not making the 100 team? Who do you have in?

From Felix herself on June 12:

“My next meet will be at the USATF Championships on 25-28 June. I feel pretty good with my fitness regarding the 200m. We are just now starting to focus on speed work so I am looking forward to racing once I have some under my belt. I did only plan on one 200 before nationals and I will run multiple 200's after nationals and before World Championships. I will also run at least one more 400 before World Championships.

Not exactly clear about 100 or 200 is it!

Exactly, which is why the word "probably" is in there to denote a certain "uncertainty" to the statement. My thoughts are that she knows where she stands as far as the 200m's and is gonna gauge herself off of her 100m performance and both her and Kersee will make the decision thereafter.
