Aaron will be running Heusden on the 28th, however, he is on the World Team for sure even without the A standard. The new world team selection states that you may send 2 A's and a B to the World Champs - Aaron has only run the B, but finished second at USA's - therefore the dude is in. Thomas Brooks will have to run the A to get into the meet - which by the looks of his 3:39 last week - he'll probably do it. So, if Thomas runs the A and Aaron does not in Belguim in 2 weeks - then Aaron will be the lone B representing the American team. Whew!!! Aaron will also run a couple of 1500's soon to tune up for the steeple.

what is the A standard for worlds?
So, I gather that if Tom Runs the A, Aaron is still on the team since they take one runner with the B standard (as they are in the womens 10K I believe with Deena having the met the B standard at USATF).
The real pressure is on Tom Brooks to run the A, or else no Osaka for him.
A Standard I believe is 8:24 and change.
thanks, what has he ran so far?

That is correct. Aguayo is on the team no matter what. Brooks is the only runner in charge of his own destiny. Gets an "A" and he's in, doesn't he's out unless Aguayo get's an "A." By the way he's (Brooks) running, and the fact that Heusden is rapidly gaining a rep as "The Stanford of Europe," I'd say he makes it.
Lets hope Brooks gets into the meet; Heusdon is really the only other steeplechase to run before Worlds. Lots of Brooks-types out there with better PR's.
Also, did Aguayo ever get a sponsor/agent?
