the top 4 make it?
They had three semifinals. The top two from each semifinal plus the two fastest times from those remaining.

Assuming all the runners have the A standard, which in the women's 100 hurdles they do, the top three runers in the finals go to the Olympics.

There's a lotta Lolo hatin' going on at the track & field message boards. I'm trying to defend as best I can but I'm outnumbered.

That flinch is going to be the source of a lot of controversy in the days to come, you can take that to the bank.

Yeah. But, she made it to London. That's what matters.

Coincidentally, Wells (2011), Lolo (2010) and Harper (2009) are the last three U.S. national champions, and now they will be representing the U.S. in London. Furthermore, Wells' and Harper's hard-luck life stories are about as compelling and inspriational as Jones'. Hopefully, they will get to share some of the limelight with Lolo in the next six weeks.

Now USATF is calling it a tie between Felix and Tarmoh in the women's 100. Here's the photo.
How will they decide who goes to London?

Here's the official ruling from USATF:
"From the USATF:
Women's 100m update - dead heat for third place
Saturday night’s final of the women’s 100 meters at the 2012 Olympic Trials involved a photo-finish image to determine third place. Timers use two camera positions for photo finishes: one on the outside of the track and one on the inside.
The outside camera is traditionally the one used in photo-finish images. In the women’s 100, the outside camera was inconclusive for determining third place due to athletes’ arms blocking a clear view of their torsos. Torso position is used to determine finishes and times.
Looking at the inside camera images, timers initially looked at the twisting upper bodies of Jeneba Tarmoh and Allyson Felix and interpolated the obscured body positions from the photo finish image. They posted Tarmoh as finishing third in unofficial results on the Hayward Field scoreboard.
Timers then immediately called referees to notify them of a potential dead heat. The photo-finish image, shot at 3,000-frames-per-second, was then analyzed by timers and referees and unanimously ruled to be a dead heat based on visual evidence. Tarmoh and Felix are both officially timed in 11.068 seconds. An image of the photo is attached.
USATF officials are meeting to determine the procedures necessary to break the third-place tie."
There's speculation that there may be a runoff for third place.

How many watched Ashton Eaton's 1500 run on his way to the Decathlon world record? So far that's been the highlight of the meet. Even FOX News has it on the home page of its website. It's ironic that he would break the record on the 100th anniversary of the first Olympic Decathlon whioh was won by the great Jim Thorpe.
