Entry standard was 1:50.20.
Will he run? He is the 19th overall entrant... USATF had to dig down deep to make sure he went. How many guys could have gone if they had entered the meet at 1:51.X?
lol @ the guy who sent in a 4:45.0 1500 entry.
Yup, this is it wrote:

And the 2:10 800.
what bullsh!t....
The same guy ran 2:10 4:45
Perhaps he was confused and was thinking he can run in the women's race

Perhaps it's a masters runner who put down the wrong events. There is a Masters 800m...

Looks like you're probably right.
http://runningtimes.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=13820\It was funnier in my head when it was some high school JV guy just sending in his time for kicks.

Isn't the 4:45 a mile ?
I'm a little confused...
In the 1500m, there's a guy who ran a 4:01.57 who has qualified, yet somebody directly under him at 3:47.03 who has not...

Notice the asterisk - the 401 is a MILE time, which converts to faster than 3:47. Good work
Maybe the 4:01 was a steep uphill 1500m.
Did you see the 3000m acceptance? Some guy got in with a 13:07!! How did that happen? I could run that.
Who cares...he's probably in 1:49.high shape. Too slow for this kind of competition.
the 4:01.57 looks like a mile time.

13:07* for some guy from Nike named Lagat.
What about Molly Beckwith in the W800? She ran 203 and did not qualify, no asterisk.
Interesting that they let Lomong in with a NT in the 3k. That is crap. It says in the rules USATF can adjust standards, so Webb getting in is questionable but ok by the rules. Letting a guy in with no time seems a bit unfair. A bunch of others should enter the 3000m today with NT and see if they accept you.
Webb wasn't the only guy they let in over the official entry standard in the 800.
What's interesting is the logic in the 60, where the let in Trey Hardee, Ashton Eaton, and Bryan Clay, all WITHOUT MARKS. Shawn Crawford, who is no longer sponsored by Nike, ran 6.78 (0.03 over the standard) and they rejected him.
You could say that the standards exist only for non-Nike athletes, but Bryan Clay is also apparently not sponsored by Nike. I think he used to be sponsored by Nike but has had hard times the last couple of years.

This is just a hunch, but there does not appear to be an indoor heptathlon taking place at the meet. If there is a requirement(not sure if there is or not) that any athlete competing on the world championship squad must compete at USA Indoors then it would make sense that those 3 must compete in something in order to be selected to represent us in the Heptathlon. If that is the case, letting them run the 60m seems to be harmless.
I could be completely wrong, but it seems to be a reasonable explanation as to why they would be let in with no qualifying time.
