I know KS had the standard and NR did not. There was talk that NR either had to get the standard (highly unlikely with a week to go) or get in on ranking. I don't understand the rankings at all. Did NR get a high enough ranking? Has this even been decided yet?
Will the team be Cranny, Monson, and Schweizer or Cranny, Monson, Rogers?
She didn't make the standard either and placed 4th so she has zero chance of going. It either has to be 3rd place NR by ranking or 5th place KS with the standard.
Don’t know if there are any 10k races left before the qualifying window closes (8/2), and she is currently 3 spots outside the rankings quota. However, there are many athletes who qualified by cross country ranking who have never run 10k before or have 33:00 pb or slower, so if 3 or more of them scratch, then Rogers could enter the rankings quota. Otherwise it will be Schweizer.

We won't know until the final world rankings come out on August 2, but it looks like Rogers won't make it as of right now unless multiple people scratch. She's on the team in the 5k, so she won't try to improve her position in the 10k.

The XC quota runners scratching won't do anything because 8 spots have to be allotted by XC ranking regardless. It has to be people above her in the track rankings.

There is zero chance of there being zero chance while there is still time.
I don’t believe so. From the LetsRun article from February:
Those entries are “use it or lose it”: if any of those federations decline the invitation for that specific athlete, the spot would not pass to the next-highest list in the world cross country rankings.

I didn't realize that. Its too bad Rogers won't get to double. Atleast she is in on the 5k.

Not true. Rogers and Kelati are currently ranked 28 and 29 for a 27 person field. (For some reason, however, there are 28 qualifiers marked on Road to Budapest.)
One scratch, or if there are actually 28 spots, and Rogers is in.
If any of Cranny, Monson, Rogers choose to scratch 10k, then Kelati would get in first, spot 27 on road to Budapest, then Schweizer w/ standard.
Schweitzer only goes straight on the team, if Rogers remains 1 spot out of qualifying.

It's a 28 woman field. 1 is in by wild card in Gidey and then 27 qualifiers.

I thought about this, but if you look at other events they account for the wild card in a different manner. More intrique and I actually hope you are right, then Rogers is in and the 'scratch' of us team members becomes interesting.
