Don't see how Mu is running the 1500. She's 40th out of 42 entries for a 36 woman field. Her only mark is from 2 years ago.
I'd suggest reading some of the previous posts.
When the 'declarations' window closes, there is a high likelihood that the number of declared entries drops to 36 or less. Usatf, if needed, has authority to add Mu at 37.

her entry now shows "info needed" (vs "qualified" or "not qualified")
She has a lot of ability so I would not count her out. But I think that she might have to run it a few times before she runs her best in that event, even so I could see her winning at the 1500 distance!
Furthermore, I haven't raised doping allegations about Mu as she hasn't done anything that yet suggests it to me.
Armstrong in another thread:
"From the few athletes who have run sub-1:55 (like Jelimo) I would reckon that is also clearly doped territory as well."
1:55.04 at age 19 doesn't suggest doping to him, sub 1:55 (1:54.99?) does. So, where does this clearly doped territory start: 1:55.03 or 1:55.02 or 1:55.01 or 1:55.00?
1:54.44 from Quirot at age 26 (or 1:54.94 from Kazankina at age 24) must be doped, but 1:55.04 from Mu at age 19 not necessary.
This summarizes his contribution to this forum quite well I think.
And shows yours. Drivel. There will be a line between what is considered possible "clean" and what is probably a doped performance. If it were not so then any level can be performed clean - like Kratochvilova's world mark? Or 1:52, 1:51? - and hence doping confers no actual advantage, because you can say no performance will be the result of doping but will just as likely be clean. You are as thick as pigsh*te. I have suggested 1:55 is that "line", but it isn't a line drawn in hundredths or even tenths of seconds - it is an estimation, you jerk, based on my understanding of the sport and what doping can enable. It may be just above 1:55 or just below; but I am sceptical of anything faster - hence my scepticism of Jelimo's time (including her off-the-charts improvement - and that she comes from a country rife with doping).
All you have demonstrated is that you don't have a clue what would be a doped performance. That is your contribution.
There is a chance she is competitive in her heat and makes the final. Last year heat 2 was won in 4:14. Mu could beat that.
But why would Mu want to do that? Make the final where the winner will be around 3:59 and Mu is 14 or 15 seconds back? How would getting beat by 100 meters be helpful to Mu?
Nowhere does that say that Mu is running the 1500, it merely states a mark for her 1500, which ironically is non-qualifying. No declarations have been made so exactly zero athletes are entered into events at this stage.
I find it fascinating that everyone is waiting around and refreshing the USATF status of entries page to see if Athing Mu will be running the 1500 when it was so clearly and succinctly announced that she was running the 1500 3 days ago.

Still drama...as declaration deadline over, and no clarification yet on Mu's 'pending' status in 1500.

Mu is clearly running the 1500m, I think that's been established at this point. Now the question is whether she can make the final and be competitive. A slow, tactical prelim would play into her favor, but the final will likely be a whole different game. To many women are too much faster than her for her to really have a good chance at making the world's team. However, she is an amazing athlete and has most definitely improved since she last ran the 1500m. Best of luck to her.
