2023 USATF Men’s Championships Final Formchart

PEERLESS PROGNOSTICATIONS by Dave Johnson
as of July 03

Team USA for August’s World Championships will be chosen at the USATF Championships (Eugene, July 06–09).

With entries now closed, here’s our Top 10 charting for each men’s event. The listing of an athlete in a discipline doesn’t guarantee he’ll contest that event (or events).

Note that athletes who won individual golds at the ’22 WC and those who won Diamond League titles in ’22 have earned the right to WA Wild Cards for this summer. The 5 American men’s Wild Card holders: 100 — Fred Kerley; 200 — Noah Lyles; 400 — Michael Norman; 110H — Grant Holloway; SP — Ryan Crouser. Should Kerley and/or Crouser become unavailable for some reason, their WC Wild Cards would pass on to DL champs Trayvon Bromell and Joe Kovacs.

The Top 10s (the number in the right-hand column represents the athlete’s placing in last year’s U.S. Rankings; athletes with asterisks have achieved the WC qualifying standard):
