FEARLESS FORECASTING by Jack Pfeifer — as of May 31

With the exception of the 10,000, walks & multis, which had their own separate selection meets earlier in the year, Team USA for July’s World Championships will be chosen at the USATF Championships (Eugene, June 23–26).

With 11 days from the end of the NCAA to the start of the Trials collegians will have more time for recovery than they had last year

Note that athletes who won individual golds at the ’19 WC have earned Wild Cards for this summer and need put in only a token appearance (event doesn’t matter) at the Nationals. The 3 Wild Card holders: Nia Ali (100H), Dalilah Muhammad (400H), DeAnna Price (HT). Asterisked athletes are those who have achieved the WC qualifying standard.

Here’s our Top 10 charting for each event at 3+ weeks out. We will have a final update on the eve of the meet. The number in the right-hand column represents the athlete’s placing in last year’s U.S. Rankings.
