Did the OP ever decide if OT means Olympic Trials or Olympic Team. If it is Olympic Trials I think Madison could qualify for the trials in the 400. Her 100/200 speed is a given. 52.60 for the B standard in the quarter. I think she could hit it. Taylor is one of the best athletes in T&F at the moment. World class in the LJ and TJ and pretty damn good in the 400. PR of 45.46 from last April. His PR in the 200 is 20.76 and is .01 off the B standard for the Trials. Thats 3 events there and .01 off a 4th. If you put 10 hurdles in his way or a bar over his head I bet he could make those events as well. The guy is that good. On a side note Taylor and Eaton are the most exciting and dynamic male athletes in US T&F. |

Kerron Clement likely had 4 for the 2007 National Championships: 100m--10.23 200m--20.48 400m--44.48 400m Hurdles--47.61 I can't find the 100m trial standard that year. In 2008 the A standard for the trials was 10.08 so he would only have the B (10.28). He would have had the B standard for the World Championships in 100m (10.21 was A) and an A standard in the other three. I can't find where he has run a 100m since 2007 and he had the maximum allowable wind for that one, so it is by no means clear that he could make those currently. |

Found the A standard for 2007, which was 10.20, so Clement would only have had a B for that event. His personal best in the 110 hurdles is 13.77 which would usually make the B standard but not the A. He did not run that in the same window as the other marks but he is potentially a five event man. He'd have to be in peak shape and have perfect conditions to make it though. |

Another person that came to mind was Erica Moore, 2012 Indoor WC Bronze winner. Based off of PR's she could hit the hept, 400IH, 400, and 800. I know the OP did not want to include the multi folks but I dont think she is doing any more multi events. I think that gal has tremendous upside in 800. 5553 52.60 56.21 1:59.97 |

Mac Wilkins - the best all around thrower ever Set world records in discus - 232'+ world class in shot put - 69'+ Both of the others would need some work, but were very respectable marks for that time period. Javelin - 257'+ Hammer - 208'+ I realize this does not hit all standards, but if he would have worked on the others, I am sure he could have gotten there I am just saying, it is impressive that a thrower even had a chance. that is an athlete. |

Gatlin ran 13.41 in the 110HH to win the SEC Championships in 2002. Virtually no hurdle work for him in college. |

But we're just talking about qualifying for the OT in the steeple, not winning it. I doubt Rupp would have any trouble qualifying for the OT in the steeple. He'd have to do a few technique sessions but that's about it. He's an 8:10 2 miler after all... |

The IAAF does not have that performance recorded and this press release announcing him as the SEC performer of the year mentions him winning three other events but no mention of the hurdles: http://www.secdigitalnetwork.com/NEWS/tabid/473/Article/119682/2002-sec-outdoor-track-awards-announced.aspx |

Ben True Two sports no less 1500 3:40 (but that PR is 5 years old) 5000 13:24 10000 28:16 and with times like that could definitely qualify for marathon, which may ultimately be his best race Has placed in top 10 or 15 at NCAA skiing, which is an automatic qualifier for OTs. |

Bobby Curtis could easily qualify for four 3:40.25 (Five years old, when he was a Jr. in college) 13:18.97 27:24.67 2:16:44 That's three qualifying standards right there. |

Rupp could probably win the trials if he was in 8:10 shape without preparing for the steeple. |

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Shalane on the women's side. She would not only qualify, but be our #1 in the 5k, 10k, and marathon. It's very likely that she could place well in the steeple and the 1500. Jenny Simpson would also be able to do very well in these events, but with a lean towards the shorter of the distances. |

There is absolutely no chance in hell that Ryan Hall could make the olympic trials in the 1500. 3:40 B standard is harder to attain than sub-4 and everyone remembers what happened when Ryan Hall tried for a sub-4 on a fast road course last year. If you don't, let me remind you: he wasn't even in the same ballpark as a sub-4. |

Brian Olinger actually did qualify in 4 events. Steeple, 5k, 10k, marathon. |

What were his marks and were they A or B standards? |
