Notes

a Remontay McClain 9.82 (+4.9) in the heats; Bromell 9.76 (+3.7), Gay 9.79 (+3.0) in semis
b Winger and Evans had not yet achieved the qualifying standard of 65.00 m. Fourth place Rodney Brown threw 65.04 at the Penn Relays on April 18 and seventh place Chase Madison threw 65.42 on the same day in Rock Island, Illinois. Though neither Winger or Evans reached the standard, Winger qualified for the World Championships by winning the NACAC Championship; Brown will take the third entry into the world championships.[5]
c Dolezal and Crouser had not yet achieved the qualifying standard of 82.00 m. Crouser threw 83.33 m in Portland, Oregon on August 1.[6] Dolezal did not meet the standard, but qualified by winning the NACAC championship.[7] Fourth place Tim Glover, who threw 84.09 m on April 11, would have been the next in line to qualify.
g Because Merritt already has a bye (doubly so), 4th place finisher Bryshon Nellum 45.18 is likely to get the third US entry into the World Championships
h Of the top 3, only Centrowitz had reached the qualifying standard (3:36.20, or 3:53.30 in the mile) before the National Championships. Andrews ran 3:35.82 in Portland, Oregon on July 2; Manzano ran 3:36.16 in Monaco on July 17.
n True, who also qualified in the 10,000 m, had not achieved the qualification standard of 13:23 before the USATF Championships. He ran 13:06.15 in Heusden-Zolder on July 18.
o Since Oliver already holds a bye into the world championships, 4th place finisher Aleec Harris (13.241, .005 ahead of Jeffrey Porter) is likely to get the third US entry into the World Championships.

Notes

f Carson did not meet the qualifying standard of 61.00 m, nor did any other Americans. Consequently, only two Americans were named to the team in this event.
j Since Reese already held a bye into the world championships, Jasmine Todd, who placed 4th with 6.84m (22-5¼ ) +1.2, got the third US entry into the World Championships. Todd also qualified in the 100 meters.
k None of the finalists had achieved the qualifying standard of 1.94m by the time of the National Championships. The only American to achieve the standard is high schooler Vashti Cunningham who entered and won the Junior National Championship.
l Since Simpson held a bye into the world championships, 4th place finisher Lauren Johnson (4:16.08) also qualified for the World Championships. At the end of the championships, neither Kerri Gallagher or Johnson had run a qualifying time, but both of them met the standard later; Gallagher ran 4:03.56 in Lignano on July 7 to qualify for world championships,[8] while Johnson ran 4:04.17 in Heusden-Zolder on July 18.
m Melville and Michta are the only Americans to achieve the qualifying standard before the National Championships
p Nelvis 12.34 (+1.9) in the prelims puts her as #7 on the all time list

Qualification

The 2015 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships serve as the qualification meet for United States representatives in international competitions, including the 2015 World Championships in Athletics. In order to be entered, athletes need to achieve a qualifying standard mark and place in the top 3 in their event. The United States team, as managed by USATF can also bring a qualified back up athlete in case one of the team members is unable to perform. Area champions (meaning, for North American athletes, gold medalists at the 2015 NACAC Championships) did not need to meet the qualifying standard; NACAC conducted its championships three weeks before the World Championships, thus providing one additional opportunity for qualification.

Additionally, defending World Champions and 2014 Diamond League Champion received byes into the World Championships.

The athletes eligible for a bye are:

Defending World Champions

Diamond League Champions

Not eligible for a bye because the Diamond League Champion cannot displace a World Champion

Both qualified by winning their respective events in the championships.
