US Worlds Team Selection

[Guest]

I am curious. With all the debate about the nature of the 1500m pace at US champs etc.
And the wonder whether anyone can run the 3.34.90 A standard.
What happens if no runners who finished in the top 3 at the National run the qualifier. Does no one go?
What if a non top three finisher, then did the standard would they be allowed to go?

The winner goes alone if he has the B qualifier.

for examples of this reference numerous past US entrants in the racewalk, hammer throw, javelin throw.

It should also be pointed out that if two or more of the people who ran the 1500 in Stanford achieve the A standard before entries close, we would send them even if they were not in the top three. There's hope for Webb yet! :-)
