They were discussing him being added to the Kenya team with the tone of "not confirmed but a strong likelihood" so I guess that's happening. Good. I like watching him race and he's the strongest bet to ensure a good, honest pace.

That, and Kate Grace's strong run in these DL meets made me think about selection processes though. I love watching the trials and the stakes of top-three-go-to-Olympics, but I'll admit its sometimes frustrating when a strong runner gets left off of the team. Or, put differently, I accept the logic of Olympic medals > US Champs medals.

Still, doubt that I would want it changed. How about you folks? As a hypothetical, how would you feel about a trials system where, like, the top two are guaranteed a slot and some selection committee (pretend its transparent enough that you can imagine won't make stupid decisions for political reasons) selects the third?
