She just ran 2:27. Who else is there? Shalane sure, Desi Sure, Molly sure- but she isn't running it. Kara has lost all heart and balloned up to about 140-150 pounds. Amy Cragg-Hastings is very wishy washy. who knows.
Can Deena Kastor Make the Olympic Marathon team next year at 43 years old?

I have to make a slight correction to your post. She turns 43 on February 14th. The Trials are February 13th so she'd make it as a 42-year old and compete as a 43-year old.
We analyzed this in the WTW last week. You can get an idea of the other contenders here:

Yep. Age graded 97.08% performance should get her in.
