2025 USATF Men’s Championships Formchart #2

PEERLESS PROGNOSTICATIONS by Dave Johnson
as of June 04

TEAM USA for September’s World Championships in Tokyo will be chosen at the later-than-usual USATF Championships (Eugene, July 31–August 03). Collegiate athletes will face a long break between the NCAA and the USATF meets.

From the exceedingly tenuous vantage point of 9 weeks out, here’s our Top 10 charting for each men’s event at USATF. The listing of an athlete in a discipline doesn’t guarantee he’ll contest that event (or events).

Athletes who have met the Tokyo qualifying standard are noted with an asterisk. Achieving a Q isn’t mandatory for making the team, as WA will fill out about half the fields in each event from its world rankings.

The U.S. will have 4 Wild Card slots (meaning 4 can qualify instead of the standard 3), given to reigning WC gold medalists: Noah Lyles (100 & 200), Grant Holloway (110H) & Ryan Crouser (SP).

(Note: two significant amendments were made to this chart after the Rome DL and Toad Fest meets)

Here’s our Top 10s (the number in the right-hand column represents the athlete’s placing in last year’s U.S. Rankings as compiled by T&FN):
