There were no scratches from the semis yesterday.
It is shocking that so many don't understand how wrong it is that Schmidt was added to the final. She has ABSOLUTELY no business being there and her presence is going to have a large impact on the race.
Schmidt was in the final. Another runner protested a DQ which was overturned and that runner was added to the final.
Schmidt only was in the final because the USATF arbitrarily added her to the final after the semis had been completed. She didn't qualify under the established procedures. USATF just as easily could have added Shalane to the final as Shalane had just as much business being added -- zero.
