USA Track and Field Championships

The USA Track and Field Championships were held at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon from June 25-28, 2015.

Below will be the list of all the athletes who qualified for the World Championships in Beijing, China to be held from August 22-30, 2015.

There are byes by certain USA athletes to the World Championships so there will be 4 qualifiers in some events and there are athletes who have not achieved the Beijing A standard who placed in the top 3.

NBC Track and Field coverage note: Todd Harris has replaced Dwight Stones as the field commentator going forward.
I really liked Dwight Stones. I met Dwight at the 1998 Indoor Track and Field Championships in Atlanta. I was able to get his autograph. I will miss his coverage.
