You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: TrackCoach Subject: USA Middle/Distance Runners Tiered Body: The tiers are based on the event(s) an athlete is qualified for or will likely qualify to compete in at the USOT; this does not assume the athlete will actually contest that event. I am assuming Jenny and Anna will not contest the SC and speculating Sam Chelanga will gain citizenship in time to compete. In general, tier 1 is an athlete who is expected to compete for a spot on the U.S. Olympic team; tier 2 is a world class athlete expected to make a USOT final and be competitive; tier 3 is a sub-elite or NCAA all-American type. (*) Stands for the tier ranking based on the SC only. A few observations: 1. No H.S. athletes in any tier. 2. Only two amateur athletes (Charles Jock/Jackie Areson) in tier 1. 3. Except for Shalane, most of the Olympic marathon qualifiers likely will not compete in the track USOT. 4. Tier 1 on the men’s side is dominated by about 95% of the same names from 4 years ago and about 80% for the women. 5. H.S. 800m runner’s Amy Weissenbach and Ajee’ Wilson are just outside of tier 3; however, it is difficult to predict what a teenager will do in an elite field. 6. Athletes like Alan Webb, Lisa Aguilera and German Fernandez for example are not tiered based on their most recent performances. Comments welcomed.
