Amid all this very interesting discussion about the US team for
Edmonton, please remember that the US is in the fortunate position of
being able to send the maximum of 3 athletes per event (if qualified).
As has been mentioned sometimes in the past, this is not true for most
other countries.
Yes, but the way Berryhill runs, he will be out there pounding away at
3:36-3:38 pace. Now you throw in a huge kick and a race the last 400 and
Webb gets his qualifier.

The WC A standard at 1500m is rather stiff this year: 3:36.20.
From 1983 there has been exactly one US championship where the winning time
was 3:36.20 or faster, last year when Jennings ran 3:35.90 (and he was the
only one).
The last three US champs in Eugene ('86, 93, '99) winning times were
But what if he wins? Is it then a situation a la the marathon trials where
the champion gets into the meet even if no qualifier? Can the champion who
runs 3:39 go to Worlds and block others who potentially posess the standard?
Better yet, who the hell cares, let the racing play itself out on
it would seem to be the same situation as 2000 Oly mens/womens Marathon
Trials if Webb wins
the WC B standard is 3:38.40, which he's already met with 3:38.26 so he
would be able to go to Edmonton if he wins no matter how slow

Even if Webb makes top 3 it seems extremely remote he'll have
A qualifier.
And his coach has supposedly said he will not chase one in Europe.
That's exactly what Coach Raczko said in

Unless two other Trials finalists break 3:36.20 afterwards,

Does Stember have the A standard? I thought he made the Olympic A
standard but not the world A standard
Stember ran 3:35.11 in Monaco last year. (The A standard is 3:36.20)
