Because she will be 19 the year of the trials (she'll turn 20 on January 8, 2017, 8 days too late according the rule), she's not eligible to compete in the Trials. Her Facebook says they may allow her to participate in the race but she can't participate in the Olympic team if she places (while she has qualified with the B standard for now, she states herself her goal is to be as competitive as possible, whether or not she is able to place). Soooo an 18 year old can vote, enlist in the military, but can't represent the USA in the Olympics.
USATF took her name off the qualifier list. It looks like the official rules will be released in March, so why are they taking names off and not telling anyone?
