That athlete, Corrigan, was a 19 or 20 year old on a religious mission who hadn't even started college yet.
We should be rewarding who wins in the current year, not someone from 2 years ago.

If he really wanted to make the Olympics in 2024, them maybe he shouldn't have gone on a mission trip in 2022. Life is full of trade-offs, my dude.

Look on the bright side, now he gets the opportunity to win NCAA titles well into his mid 20s.

I only see one IAAF approved race in the US before June 30th. At Penn (not fastest track in the world) and it does not have a steeple.
The US Track federation should have thought ahead and organized a last chance meet on June 30th.

FYI: JG confirmed in the other thread that they are adding at Steeple to Penn and he's racing there to try to go under 8:15.

In 2022 Evan Jager won the steeplechase at the NACAC Championships to earn 150 bonus points toward his World Rankings. That looks like it will secure him a Paris spot.
I say good for World Athletics for putting a higher emphasis on Area Championships. While many athletes in the past would shy away from meets like NACAC..... World Athletics has figured away to make them more relevant and appealing for the athletes to not overlook them

If we're choosing between two people who will most likely get smoked in the Olympics I'd rather it be the guy with a ton of big race experience than a college kid

He is going as a disruptor. If he drags Corrigan under the standard than he kills off his own chances.

re: Over the Barrier

Corrigan simply doesn't have the Olympic Standard. Why is he given such a high profile last chance to make it? They even had the thrown together steeplechase scheduled last to be as cool as possible. His buddies are even pacing him.

Looks like the mission trip and the Olympics worked out.

On the bright side, he did it all with two years off of running. Where can he be with a few more years under his belt?

re: frostsmom

Because he can run the standard. Like he did. Looks like he peaked a little later than the other athletes
