USATF 2001 MEN'S PREDICTIONS

by Dave Johnson
(as of 6/20/2001)

Trials for the 2001 World Championships Edmonton, August 3-12

Assuming that all have made the appropriate standards (T&FN, December '00), the top 3 Americans in each event at the USATF Championships in Eugene in June will make the U.S. team for the World Championships. Typically, an event or three will find the American squad coming up short.

The marathon teams and men's 50K walk squad were chosen earlier.

Defending world champions have "wild card" status, so some WC events will have 4 Americans, and a few leading Americans--such as Mo Greene and Marion Jones in the 100s--almost certainly won't run that event at nationals, but we have listed them just in case.
