She ran a 4:07 solo from the slow heat and ran a faster time than Maia Ramsden. She can probably run a little bit faster with competition. She didn’t even run a race at all last season to now a good chance of making a US final. It just speaks to how elite Ben Thomas is as a middle distance coach

Only 16 women in US history have run under 4:00; 8 of them are currently competing - St. Pierre, Cranny, MacLean, Johnson, Wiley, Hiltz, Norris, and Mackay. Let me know when McArthur breaks 4:00. 4:07 isn't $hit today.
I can only assume you hate the men that would buy that product more than the women capitalizing on it, right?

I just checked - her 4:07 is US #113 all-time.

In an Olympic year everyone is a contender.

Well, she's proved me wrong -- I think just last month I basically said I didn't think she deserved a pro running contract and hadn't really done much in college or HS to warrant anything more than a "here's some gear" contract. Good for her putting up that time. I don't think she has a realistic chance of making the team and should probably aim for making the US finals, but gotta be impressed by Ben Thomas's coaching of these young kids. That's a 6 second PR out of nowhere.
Not sure what everyone will run at the trials so I put (NL) for not likely next to their name if I think they'll run another event, but here is the list since 1-1-2023 ending with MacArthur's time (which is 26th):
1. 3:58.88 Elise CRANNY
2. 3:59.17 Addison WILEY
3. 3:59.19 Sinclaire JOHNSON
4. 3:59.61 Nikki HILTZ
5. 3:59.99 Emily MACKAY
6. 4:00.34 Elle ST. PIERRE
7. 4:00.61 Cory Ann MCGEE
8. 4:00.77 Josette ANDREWS (NL)
9. 4:01.55 Helen SCHLACHTENHAUFEN
10. 4:01.66 Danielle JONES
11. 4:03.44 Athing MU (NL)
12. 4:04.35 Karissa SCHWEIZER (NL)
13. 4:04.99 Anna CAMP BENNETT
14. 4:05.29 Heather MACLEAN
15. 4:05.32 Angel PICCIRILLO
16. 4:05.35 Emma COBURN (NL)
17. 4:05.53 Allie BUCHALSKI (NL)
18. 4:05.79 Alex TEUBEL
19. 4:05.94 Emily LIPARI (NL)
20 4:05.97 Whittni MORGAN (NL)
21 4:06.27 Elly HENES (NL)
22 4:06.34 Sage HURTA-KLECKER (NL)
23 4:06.38 Alicia MONSON (NL)
24 4:06.49 Katelyn TUOHY (NL)
25 4:06.73 Skylyn WEBB
26 4:07.28 Rachel MCARTHUR
I think Cranny will run the 1500 because the 5000 will be over by the time the rounds start. So removing the 11 that I think will run other events (although some might also opt for the 5000/1500 double if they don't make the 5K team rather than the 5K/10K double) I'm thinking MacArthur is probably just outside the top 10-15 insofar as qualifying for the finals? If she improves she could definitely make the finals at USAs. Pretty astounding for someone who came in with a 4:13 pr.
