See is clean as a whistle…you can tell. She’s pretty bubbly so probably smells like watermelon, too.

Cause the US selection process takes into account who finishes higher at the trials….

Well it's the bonus points plus she gets selected ahead of Karissa.

But you still have to be eligible by either the entry standard or world ranking in XC or 10k to be selected. That's what the people here aren't getting. As the US only has 3 eligible athletes right now including Monson, with her dropout the 27th athlete in is now Elly Henes at 1227 points, NOT Klara Lukan. And removing Izzo does nothing as 8 athletes have to be selected from XC ranking regardless of who they are, so it wouldn't free up a spot for the U.S. So Valby and Schweitzer need 2 athletes in above them to drop out excluding Monson and Eilish McColgan to be eligible to be selected. Otherwise the last 2 US spots go to Katie Izzo and Elly Henes.

An Olympian is someone who has competed in the Olympic Games, he has not. She might be a member of the US Olympic team.

because izzo was almost last place.
But this should lock her in even if they pick Izzo too.
She was 13th/ 22 finishers. So hardly last place but Valby definitely deserves to go over her. The XC spots for 10k are ridiculous.

The 8 spots for cross country don't have to be picked. If a national federation/athlete declines acceptance for entry in the 10,000m, the spot is given to the next person on the world 10,000m rankings instead. It doesn't go down to the next ranked XC runner.

Yep, with the 50 bonus points for 2nd place, it brings her to 29th on the road to paris list. Only 27 go. But Monson is out, and the USA can select her ahead of Izzo.
But I thought quota reallocation was only for the marathon? My understanding was that we can't just swap in a top 3 finisher at the trials for someone who would have been ranked highly enough to qualify. So if Valby and Schweizer were to end up right outside the rankings bubble (unlikely, but let's just say it happens for this hypothetical), then wouldn't the US have no choice but to send Kelati (time qualifier), Izzo (cross country qualifier), and the next highest American in the rankings besides those two and the injured Monson (I believe that's Henes, but maybe I'm wrong; not going to bother checking)?
