She Ran the Olympic Marathon Trials Qualifying Time, But She Can’t Compete in Atlanta

data. Nine days later, Houston Marathon officials denied her request to be placed in the A corral because the results she submitted could not be verified.

“[Gregoire] is a unique circumstance and by all means a standout, but she did not meet any of those qualification standards that are outlined,” said Muffy King, director of marketing, media, and brand for the Houston Marathon. “And so with the hundreds of requests we were receiving, we simply had to just draw a line in the sand and stay with it.”

“Maybe this is for the best, I can just go out, run my own race, and maybe pick some people off along the way and treat that as a confidence boost,” Gregoire said. “Going into the Trials, she’s not necessarily going for performance, she’s going for experience, which I think is absolutely so important in a young athlete’s life,” Finley said.

Y'all want to complain about shoe foam, but this ruling by the USATF is outrageous. They are completely out of touch. Let her run!

This is why gun time is ridiculous. A large field means you're screwed.

Complete nonsense..... should be chip time.. not gun time, especially when she had to fight her way thru crowds of people who were obviously slower than her

She knew the rules, did not follow them! Too bad.
