How do they select who goes for the relay?

There’s a huge pool. Top 4 in this are usually a safe bet but there may be changes depending on the 400 hurdles and such.

ETA: plus they run different people in qualifying

I thought Valby was going to pull it off. Still one hell of a season...5 Nattys and hitting the Olympic Standard at Trials.

This is why using the trials exclusively is dumb

That is really tragic. All that effort wiped away

Sucks to not get the chance to see her get smoked by Keely.

They need to send top 2 and the highest world ranked athlete in cases such as this. The collision took out the 1st and 3rd ranked 800m US runners...we are not sending our best. HOWEVER, every USOC sport takes the top 2 or 3. This might be enough to make them reconsider.

Agreed BUT I'll also put some blame on Kersee and his weird aversion to racing. Running in a pack is a learned thing and requires practice too. You don't get that without racing often.

Mu put herself in an awful spot there and has herself to blame honestly. That being said these 3 likely wont even make finals

They were talking in her previous race about her big arse backkick. Can’t run in the pack if you’re gonna run like that.

Mu could've gotten the Olympic standard running elsewhere? Believe she's been mostly injured this year.

Like can she hit it elsewhere this year? Maybe but it won’t matter.
