These are my predictions, I;m not including anyone who has a bye to worlds.
100m:
Gay, Bailey, Bracy
200m:
Gatlin, Spearmon, Gay
400m:
Merritt, Mcquay, Verburg
800m:
Berian, Martin, Loxsom ( maybe solomon in place of either martin or loxsom, it’s wide open)
1500m
Manzano, Centro ( either Merber or Blankenship)
Manzano could have a bad day, but he always shows up during champs races.
5000m
Rupp, True, Hill ( or lagat, he could show up and destroy, but his opening 5k wasn’t too impressive)
10000m
Rupp, Estrada, True
3000m Steeple
Jager, Cabral, Mahoney
Decathlon:
Taiwo, Hardee, Beach
Womens:
100m:
Bowie, Gardner, Prandini
200m:
Dezerea, Prandini, Bowie
400m:
Mcrory, Richards Ross, Felix
800m:
Wilson, Martinez, Vessy
1500m:
Rowbury, Moser, Efraimson
5000m:
Huddle, Rowbury, Macke
10000m:
Huddle, Flanagan, Sisson
3k Steeple:
Emma Coburn, Stephanie Garcia, Bush
Heptathlon: No idea
I would love to hear yours, or any arguments or criticisms of my choices

Andrews will make the team in the 1500. He is running well.

Great list. One note, Merritt has a bye to Worlds since he's the defending champ.
I have faith in Symmonds making it in the 800. -

In that case I think it's either gonna be Spratling or Manteo Mitchell, with a lean for Mitchell, if his legs really healed after London.
Also, Robby may have a chance, but him against merber, blankesnip, Leo, Centro, and Casey, He's gonna have his hands full.
Symmonds has no chance. -

The same Jenny Simpson that is entered and declared for the Women's 1500. I would not bet on her losing if she races the final (which she doesn't have to do). -

I'd put Huling on the steeple team. Saw him working out recently. Looks really good.

Read the first sentence in the OP's first comment. Maybe you'll understand why people aren't putting Simpson. -
Can Vashti Cunningham be placed on the Senior the Worlds teams.
She is signed up for the Junior Nats, but is the only other US woman who has the 1.94 Worlds Q and given how the other USA women are jumping it's possible there will be a slot open at the end of the Worlds Q window?
can she jump at both Jr and senior Worlds-assuming she Qs for the Jr Team of course. Would she have to take at lest one attempt at Senior USAs or would she have to clear a bar at Sr. USAs
