Yes, Rachel might go if Houlihan runs only the 1500m. Too bad Rachel didn't get 3rd outright. Sounds as if she ran a good race, but was outsprinted by the young women Karissa and Elinor; I knew they would be tough.

It was great to see the three of them in the race and also nice to see the GEORGETOWN threads on Norris! Sure hope Rachel gets the opportunity to go.

I believe it is official; Rachel will be going to Doha. Houlihan opted for only the 1500m. I think this is Rachel's first time for a Worlds or Olympic team. Actually she was fighting a cold at Nationals, which hindered her a bit.

In the women’s 5000, American record holder Shelby Houlihan got a dominant win as expected in 15:15.50 after a 63.57 last lap. There was a three-way battle for second that ultimately went to Houlihan’s Bowerman Track Club teammate and 2019 US leader Karissa Schweizer in 15:17.03, as Elle Purrier (15:17.46) and Rachel Schneider (15:17.91) were third and fourth, both earning their first Worlds qualifications as pros, as Houlihan will only run the 1500 at Worlds (the 1500 and 5000s are back to back at Worlds this year so the double isn’t possible).
