But who knows. Somebody may emerge that is in fantastic shape and try to take control of the race. That is the great thing about racing.
In America? Please stop, I'm going to crack a rib laughing over here.

Is it correct that neither Rupp nor Solinsky have the IAAF A standard, whereas a whole bunch of guys who ran Payton Jordan do?
This year's Payton Jordan allowed guys to both get the A standard for this year's world's and the Olympics next year. Rupp and Solinsky have the A standard for this year's world's, but do not have it yet for the Olympics.
Would Prefontaine have led this race from the gun? Or maybe tried to push it from about halfway? What would Jesus do?

Nelson, Teg, Solinsky, Rupp, Curtis all have the A-standard (LAST Payton Jordan counts for 10k only). Those five are only ones with chance to make Worlds unless someone else finishes in the top 3 and runs 27:45 because there are no qualifying races between USATFs and Worlds. So anyone wanting to go better run A-standard pace to give themselves a chance.
The other distance races will allow for those in the top 4 at USA's to "chase" up until August 8th.
Do you seriously think that if someone without the A standard finishes in the top 3 they won't find a 10K somewhere to get the standard in order to go to worlds? If anything their coach would set one up for them.
Jesus would wash the feet of all of the spectators, then fly away on a magic carpet. Pre would smoke a joint, then eat funyuns.
