Tuohy doesn't have the 4:05 standard. It states "not qualified" on the USATF status of entries page. Am I missing something here? Why is there even a discussion if she's running the 1,500 or not when she's not qualified for it.
"All verified entries who have met the “Automatic” standard within the prescribed period and at a bona fide meet (see guidelines below), shall be qualified. Additional verified entries from the rank order list, of those who have entered and declared may be invited to participate in the USATF Outdoor Championships; only to the extent that the indicated field size has not been filled by those with the “Automatic” standard. Additional athletes may be accepted based on Verified, Declared entries in their performance rank order."
Max field size for the 1500 is 36 so as long as someone is in the top-36 times they will get an invite.
