Does anyone know when they have to declare for the team?
It was done at the course. It is already done. Shelby has declared to go. How many ways does it have to be said for you to understand?
Yeah, but has she committed to run?

All 5 Bowerman women committed to run at the course. However, the OP believes that she will UNcommitt.

This is what I was talking about. 1975- look down the list at the great runners. OK- no Olympics (no Worlds back then) in 75 but most years were like this back then. I think the results were similar in other years. I remember this one because Walker and Rogers were in it- miler and marathoner:

Dixon moved up into the medals when the Africans arrived.
The Miler to Marathoner competition was still on for many years at WCC.

She HAS said she's running indoors. Pretty hard to run indoor miles then switch gears and run a x-country 10k.
Not much to gain from running World Cross. Not exactly a prestige event.
Yeah not much to gain from being a CHAMPION OF THE ENTIRE WORLD in cross country, that only the very best are able to do.
Some random indoor meet would be soooooo much more prestigious.

No one believes that she will run World Cross and risk hurting herself for the upcoming track season. Jerry will never let it happen. The course will be a muddy mess with 1000 feet of incline. This will not be like Tallahassee which is perfect footing.
You heard it here first. SHELBY HOULIHAN IS OUT.
I called it 3 days ago. It's official she is out. Told you so.
This is where this board gets fun. No one will believe me without a link. A week from now you will call me an insider.
