Olympic Trials Men’s Formchart No. 2

FEARLESS FORECASTING by Dave Johnson — as of June 16.

The USATF Championships in Eugene (June 18–21 & 24–27) will also be the selection meet for the Olympic Games. With declarations now in, here are our Top 10 picks in each men’s event.

The numbers in the right-hand column? With no U.S. Rankings having been possible for the pandemic year of ’20, those figures reflect the athlete’s position in T&FN’s ’19 U.S. Rankings. If he wasn’t ranked in ’19, then the ’18 rating is given in parentheses. An “nr” means he didn’t rank in either ’17 or ’18, but may have in an earlier year.
