Bowerman Track Club coach Pascal Dobert confirmed the news.
As a fan it pissed me off but rationally I understand it.

Amy Cragg won't be taking her spot either, per source. Which means that your team right now is as follows:
Marielle Hall, Courtney Frerichs, Karissa Schweizer, Stephanie Bruce, Anne-Marie Blaney, Sarah Pagano
1 275 Shelby Houlihan 25 Portland OR NIKE Bowerman Track Club 32:47 NOT RUNNING
2 278 Molly Huddle 34 Providence RI Saucony 32:56 NOT RUNNING
3 252 Marielle Hall 27 Portland OR NIKE Bowerman Track Club 32:57
4 482 Aliphine Tuliamuk 29 Flagstaff AZ HOKA ONE ONE NAZ Elite 33:04 NOT RUNNING
5 178 Amy Cragg 35 Portland OR NIKE Bowerman Track Club 33:18 NOT RUNNING
6 226 Courtney Frerichs 26 Portland OR NIKE Bowerman Track Club 33:25
7 429 Karissa Schweizer 22 Portland OR NIKE Bowerman Track Club 33:29
8 149 Stephanie Bruce 35 Flagstaff AZ HOKA ONE ONE NAZ Elite 33:30
9 132 Anne-Marie Blaney 25 Rochester Hills MI Hansons-Brooks DP 33:35
10 382 Sarah Pagano 27 Ringwood NJ 33:44
Does that mean none of them are going? Or if not, how do they figure Shelby has to skip it to get ready for track but the others don't? Cragg skipping makes sense, though, if she's doing a spring marathon.
Someone called that in a thread basically immediately after the race, though it seems to have since been deleted for some reason.

I will gladly take those in bold. The others are quitters. Don't honor commitments and are not loyal to their country.
That sucks. Can't wait to watch her run a 4:06 easy win at some flotrack broadcasted meet instead! Woohoo! Go shelby!

Why didn't you @ them in your tweet? You are too busy trying to make friend instead of reporting.

Agreed, this is effing lame sauce.
Did they say why she isn't running?
world XC is a joke for america anyway, we almost always send our B team. last time we sent Scott Fauble and Trevor Dunbar? those guys arent even in the top 15 of our best XC runners
This isn't really about Houlihan. I wish world cross were important enough for top 1500m runners to care enough to train for it and race it. Sadly it isn't.
This is the reason to put XC in the winter Olypmics.

Pretty sure Scott Fauble is in the top 15 of our best XC runners.

Sad news, but XC is a FALL sport!

It is. Cross Country Skiing.

What do you understand about it? I DON"T UNDERSTAND IT. Worlds are in October. What the hell does she need to be doing now?
Instead, I'll wait for the latest time trial by some US pro at some meet no one has ever heard of. I've been hearing there might be a 5000 the week of USAs. If that happens, anyone who does that meet is going to get ripped by me.
The sport as a fan is just so boring. No one ever goes outside their comfort zone.
Gosh, this pisses me off as a fan.
When we do our GOAT debates, Bekele is unbeatable in my mind as he excelled in xc, on the roads and track. Farah/Geb couldn't hack XC.
Why is Tuliamuk not running? Most immigrant runners seem to like competing for the US.

I've always been against that just because I don't think any other athlete can win Winter and Summer games medals in basically the same sport.
But I sort of agree with you know. I"'m willing to get rid of the 10,000 in the summer Olympics. And put it in the Winter Olympics as xc. Then the winner of that would not only get prestige but they'd get a ton of publicity as the kind of kings or queen or queens which is the beauty of xc.
It would GREATLY elevate XC. And it would be amazing as the winter Olympics are in the year when there is not world outdoors so everyone would be focused on it.
Cross country is a joke that only losers care about.
I TOLD YOU THIS 2DAYS AFTER THE QUALIFIER.
