We'll know tomorrow (2/15) as that's the deadline for entries.
What's somewhat interesting is that some folks who had stated prior to the meet that they wouldn't be going still filled out the paperwork, giving them some wiggle room to change their minds. I've heard on the men's side they will go down to 16th or 18th to fill the 9 slots.

The chance of having a baby with Downs Syndrome increase markedly with each year the mother is over 35 years old. But that doesn't mean they can't run:
Well at least they don't have to bring th 4k slugs along this year.
Very large discussion going on right now about cutting the number of runners on both men's and women's squads. Really sucks if you were an athlete who made it and are now being told you can't go. Not good. Nothing finalized yet.

Why not recount the yearly floods, issue new birth certificates, and we can race as juniors.
Jordan Hasay officially announced she will be going to Kenya, Aurora Scott also said she would definitely be going. I assume/ hope Aislinn Ryan goes!!
We should send teams, even if it means going down to the #15 runner in each race. You never know when someone who gets a chance like that will see a change in their entire running career. I wasn't there, but from the sounds of things, the US meet was well done and there was a lot of support. It is not easy to watch runners race at altitude and be able to understand how they are feeling -- some good runners will not look very good; maybe even not look fit. We gotta keep the ball rolling.
My coach told me that there is going to be some litigation regarding this exact issue. USATF had better be prepared for a fight.

So what is going on?
They don't want to go to France?
Isn't there also an issue with the prize money? Wasn't the prize money linked to running worlds?
