THE TRADITIONALLY CONVOLUTED qualifying mechanism for this year’s World Championships meant that fans couldn’t be 100% sure who was on Team USA until USATF made its roster announcement on July 05.
There is always the possibility of last-minute substitutions for injury-related reasons, or double-qualifiers deciding only to do a single event.
As always, selection of the various relay teams will be done by the coaching staffs as time gets closer. Any athlete on the team in any event is eligible for relay duty.
Athletes denoted with a ¶ had a bye by virtue of being a reigning gold medalist, DL champion or WA Combined Events winner. Athletes denoted with a # did not have an automatic Q-standard and had to become eligible by virtue of a high WA world rankings position. Marathon team members were selected by finish in the Olympics, followed by order of finish at Chicago, Boston or New York.
Each athlete is listed with USATF placing.* = number of previous WC teams, if any.
