I don't think so, even if she improved by 20 seconds like Hasay did, she would only run 31:49, (PR 32:09)

que the music!
Yes, she will. Count on it.
How her injury reacts to the rest is the key. Healthy the A is not a given for Erdmann and injured just that much harder.
I would love to see Erdmann get the A standard, given her 3rd place at nationals, but I don't see it happening. Watching Hasay fail to do it will undermine her confidence to achieve that mark. The rumored injury won't make it any easier. Time trial type races are basically training sessions and tough to get psyched up for.
i'll bet that erdmann also gets the B in around 32 flat, doesn't go to worlds
What injury?
No.
No, the team will be Flanagan, Hasay and Hastings, which was the safe bet all along.
Next prediction, Kara tweets something positive to congratulate Jordan for making the team and someone on here twists it into a negative.
I doubt Erdmann runs another 10,000 this season. No way she can run 31:45, and the B gets her nowhere, so why not just go to Europe and run some shorter stuff or shut it down if her achilles is hurting?
I think it is very worrying that the injury was bad enough that they decided not to have her run with Jordan. I could see a situation where she runs but drops out around halfway. I hope she gets it though.

She's got a tender achilles.
If she gets the B, will Jordan try again for the A?
Likely a DNS, but a DNF for sure.
Ordinarily I would say no, but it has been a good year for the USA in regards to the post-nationals chasing of standards.
No, she won't get it. Did Hasay intentionally avoid running the A just to hurt Erdmann?
Who is Tara Erdmann? How did she get on the Oregon Project team? I googled her a little but am pretty lazy. You'd think one of these websites would do some coverage on her background after she placed third at USA's.
I think she'll get it. she's a very strong runner
There is no way Hasay intentionally avoided the A.
At Worlds, a rested Hastings is more of a threat than a tired/injured Erdmann.
Or she will see that slightly better pacing is the way to go when you need the A versus Hasay who only needed to get the B standard. It would have been dumb for Hasay to risk the B by going out faster and pushing real hard during mile 5. It was better to play it safe and try and kick it home fast.
