Sean McGorty would've needed to have run 27:51.14 for third if he wanted to move up the world rankings to get into the top 27. Zerei Kbrom Mezngi, from Norway, has a world ranking score of 1216 and he's the cut off runner (assuming the Oceanian champion Tim Vincent decides to run). You get 70 placing points on top of your performance score for finishing third in a World Athletics Silver level meet like an outdoor national championships. 27:51.14 is 1146 points for performance score+70 points for placing score is 1216. His highest score is his 27:46.30 from Worlds last year where he got 12th which gives him an extra 65 points for his placing which is 1218 points combined. 1218+1216= 2434 2434/2=1217, just above Mezngi's rankings score.
Thanks for the clarification. It’s kinda lame, but they’ll name 4 and I have to imagine it *should* be clear early enough that he’s in. Similar to the Hocker situation in Tokyo.
