Re: the title, it's not a rumor. I can confirm USATF was looking for a replacement runner today but that is basically impossible since it's hard to get to Tallahassee on short notice. TBD whether the US starts a full team.
Why can’t you report who isn’t running? The race is in 12 hours
Dylan Schubert or Cooper Teare?
put me in coach
Ritz and Teg are in town… time to harness the Tao of Phillip Rivers and lace em up

Its not impossible. If they just want a full team, they could give a spot to a florida state distance guy if they had to. Or any other school within a few hours - Florida, etc. If they communicated quickly enough, someone who finished further back at usatf nats could even get on a red eye.
I bet Strand would do it.
Confirmed that Rocky's out. He's been hurt a few weeks so surprised they didnt let USATF know earlier
If true, my prediction contest will not include a U.S.A. podium result.
If true, will Rocky get the Fiona O’Keefe treatment from LRC?
Who will be the replacement?
Yes, not good if he didn’t give enough notice of injury for proper substitute. It’s a bad look for his pro prospects as he has had injury history in college.
If Rocky’s out I feel bad for the guys at my hotel wearing Rocky t-shirts.
Not a good look, unless it was a very recent injury. Could’ve easily found a replacement, whether Murphy who trains with half the team or someone lower.
Grant Fisher, it's time to step up for your country!

Let's not forget about Yared Nuguse doing the same in Tokyo in 2021. He denied Craig Engels his shot at the Olympics.
GREAT SCOOP!!! THANKS FOR BREAKING THIS ONE, ROJO!!!!

Ethan Strand winning World XC after the first 6k goes oddly slow is just the kind of glitch in the simulation that has an air of truthiness to it.
