re: Ben Wrong

Looking at this start list, I'm convinced Webb will make the finals. The question is whether he tries to achieve the "A" standard in the heat or the final. My guess is the former.

Imagine if Trafeh and Webb makes the finals. That means another 2 athletes screwed by USATF qualification rules?

That 13.32.99 by Trafeh in a low key Tunisian meet is suspicious.

re: Ben Wrong

None of this "faster heat" nonsense. Webb will be top 6 for sure. Fastest losers are for losers. Webb is a winner.

I thought he was petitioning to get in the steeple.

I don't see Webb having any trouble making the finals, regardless of what heat he is in.

re: Webber Grill

Racing Heat 1 against a stacked field is the WORST scenario. Much better to be in Heat 2.

re: Webber Grill

how many from each heat go to finals? Is it first 2 from each heat then next 6 fastest times?

re: michrunner12

"Advance 16 -- Top 6 + 4 on time to Final"

So top 6 from each heat, next 4 fastest times, if the above hasn't yet made that clear.

re: Montesquieu

hope webb makes the team but i dont see it unless he has something up his sleeve. If he can run sub 1310 then he has a slight chance

re: Ben Wrong

I am still in shock that Webb is running the 5k. His 3:37 he ran this year could have easily been a 3:35 understand the right circumstances. Even in his prime Webb never ran the 5k as fast as either Teg or Rupp. Rupp can run circles around Webb in a 5k. Rupp is in the zone that Webb was in 2007. Right now there is no better US distance runner, and I am including Lagat in this equation.

Guess how he got in the faster heat.

re: Ben Wrong

You've gotta be kidding me, how has nobody posted this yet? Heat 2 is much stronger. He will make the final because he will easily be top 6 in his "weak" heat. The second heat has Lagat, Lamong, Derrck, Vaughn, and Hill.

re: Mooplie

Webb ran very few competitive 5k's, and was almost certainly capable of 12:55 or better in his prime.

re: Ghola

Word on the street in Eugene is Teg is scratching the 5k!

re: InTrackTownUSA

Tegankamp will not start. He confirmed this with me and so did Jerry Schumacher. He tried to scratch, but the start list had already been created. So, he'll wind up as a DNS.

So they are only eliminating 9 (normally 8) people in the semis?
