Many of the events list individuals who attempted to enter but don’t have the qualifying mark. Do they do this to fill the field sizes? Or does USATF put them there for no particular reason?

those individuals entered on their own, usatf do not enter the athletes on the list.. those who do not have qualifying time but is inside the field size will be able to join, top 36 for the 1500m and top 24 for the 5000m
Super excited to see what Hocker and Teare can do doubling in the 15/5. How often do we send someone to WCs doubling in the 15/5? The only one I can remember off the top of my head is Lagat.
Not sure if anyone's said it yet, but Tuohy is entered in the 1500 and 5k too. If they think the 5k is her best shot, she won't be going in with fresh legs with the 1500 finals coming the day before. If it's just for experience/fun though, it looks like it'll work out well.
It also looks like it'll work out well for Hocker/Teare since they're the favorites for the 1500, so they basically have the 5k as the cherry on top.

It was discussed already on another thread, and both katelyn and her coach told letsrun that they will decide on it in the upcoming days
but im pretty sure its going to be 5k - katelyn said in an interview that she would love to try to run under the world standard 15:10 (literally just 4 seconds off her solo effort 15:14)

Likely that neither doubles at USATF unless necessary
