NO
To my knowledge the window for qualifying has not been opened yet which means that TC will not be a qualifier this year but will be as soon as the window opens up which I think will be next year. Stay tuned someone out there knows!.....

The Twin Cities director sent this to a guy on our team the other day.
It is official finally. We are the first qualifying event for the 2008 trials. I was at the Running USA annual conference this past weekend and Jim Estes and Elizabeth Phillips let me know the final ruling.
I am very pleased with this decision and hope that you and your teammates consider coming to our event. We would be honored to have you join us. We are really looking forward to building a strong American field for the championships. We will have a strong American prize purse for the championships.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
does that mean any fall marathon after Twin Cities will also be considered a qualifying event?
The qualifying window will open for one day at TCM this year and then close. Then qualifying will start January 1, 2006 to the Trials (yet to be decided.)
Glenn, do you know what the Q-standards are for both the Men & Women for the 2008 trials? When will they be announced if they are not known at this time?
Thanks,
John
