Why? I don’t believe there are 4 American women better than her in the 400
Why? What evidence have you seen that suggest she is one of the top dozen 400m runners in the US in 2024? If she was I. 2021 form, yeah she was that good. She hasn’t shown that type of 400m speed in a while.
Okay perhaps she got the Shacarri ban. Shacarri missed last Olympics for "marijuana" but it was probably a more damning stimulant and she reached a plea deal. Perhaps Mu's lack of racing and failing to qualify for the Olympics is also part of a plea bargain. The suspicion of her lack of competing is revolting and bizarre to say the least.

She should be if she is 100%, however that terrible training group situation is in where they will not allow her to race against SML is really stupid. She needs to find a new training group, and she will break the WR for 800M.

Then it's a good thing that you aren't the coach picking the relay team. Because you don't pick someone who doesn't ever run the 400 and who also is just recovering from a serious hamstring injury.
