The 2022 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships were held in Eugene, Oregon organized by USA Track and Field. It was serving as the national championships in track and field for the United States.

The results of the event determined qualification for the 2022 World Athletics Championships, also held in Eugene. Provided they had achieved the World standard or are in the World Athletics ranking quota, the top three athletes in each event gained a place on the World team. In the event that a leading athlete did not hold the standard, or an athlete withdrew, the next highest finishing athlete with the standard was selected instead. USA Track and Field announced their World Championship roster based on these guidelines in July 2022. The results determined qualification for the 2022 NACAC Championships and the team was announced on 12 August 2022.[1]

The selection events for the men's and women's marathon were held 2021 Boston Marathon, 2021 Chicago Marathon and 2021 New York marathon,[2] the trials for the men's 35 km race walk were held on January 16, 2022, at San Diego Christian College and the Santee Town Center station in Santee, California and the trials for the 20 km race walk were held on February 6, 2022, at Cuyamaca College.[3][4] The USATF Multi Event Championships (Heptathlon & Decathlon) occurred May 6–7, 2022 at the University of ArkansasJohn McDonnell Field in Fayetteville, Arkansas and 10,000 meter races were held at University of Oregon' Hayward Field in Eugene on May 27, 2022.[5]

Qualification

USA Track & Field sets minimum performances standards for entry into the national championships. In order to merit entry into the championships, an athlete must meet that standard, or better, within a set time frame prior to the competition.

All qualifying performances for the U.S. Olympic Trials must be attained on a standard outdoor track in the period

  • Tuesday, June 1, 2021, through Sunday, June 12, 2022,

or on an indoor track, in the same event, in the period

  • Wednesday, December 1, 2020, through Sunday, June 12, 2022;

or on a 20 km Race Walks whose qualifying period is from

  • Wednesday, December 1, 2020, through Sunday, January 24, 2022;

except for the Decathlon & Heptathlon whose qualifying period is from

  • Wednesday, December 1, 2020, through Sunday, April 24, 2022;

except for the 10,000 meters whose qualifying period is from

  • Wednesday, December 1, 2020, through Sunday, May 15, 2022;

The qualifying performance for the men's 35 km Race Walk must be attained in the period

  • Monday, January 1, 2019, through Sunday, January 12, 2022.

There are also automatic qualifying criteria outside of the entry standards. Athletes who are the reigning indoor or outdoor national champion are automatically qualified to enter that event.

Qualifying marks must be attained in a 2020 U.S. Olympic Trials event. No qualifying marks will be allowed using alternate events, except for the men's Mile run as follows: An appeal to use a Mile qualifying mark for the 1500 will be accepted only if the mile mark was made during the 2021 season, from January 1, 2021, through June 19, 2022, and the mark is 3:54.00 or better.

For events over distances from 100 m to 800 m, performances will only be accepted if fully automatic timing (FAT) is used. For performances beyond that distance, FAT times are also used, but in the event that the athlete has not recorded a FAT performance, a manually recorded time may be used. There will be no adjustment for marks made at altitude. Wind-assisted performances will not be accepted for 2022 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships qualifying.[21]

  14. ^ "Molly Seidel on Instagram: "This is a post I hoped I wouldn't have to write, but Thursday night Jon and I made the decision to pull out of the world champs marathon. It's been the most challenging marathon build I've had, and from a physical & mental standpoint a complete struggle since Boston. My hip impingement never fully resolved yet I kept pushing it, and an mri late this week showed I have a stress reaction in my sacrum. Continuing to train and race on it would lead to a full fracture, and I'd waste a team spot being unable to race to a level Team USA expects of their athletes. As well, TUE process for my ADHD meds is still ongoing, and frankly my mental health hasn't been in a great spot for a while. I'm going to be taking some time to step back and work on getting myself fully healthy, and thanks to the amazing mental health resources through USOPC I'm finally getting to understand my diagnosis and fully address the many issues it leads to. I'm not really in a place where I'm ready to talk about it openly but eventually I will be, and for now I kinda just ask that people respect my right to work on myself privately. I love being able to share my mental health story openly and honestly but that's really difficult to do when I'm in the thick of it, and frankly something I prefer to keep within the circle of family and friends. So, with all this said yesterday was the final deadline to switch out alternates for worlds, and it was pretty clear due to a number of factors I wasn't going to be the most competitive or best representative of Team USA for this race. Jon and I made the decision to pull out to allow USATF to find an alternate to take my place, and I couldn't think of anyone better to take my place than the American record holder herself @keiradmato ❤️ if there's anyone who could rise to the challenge on this short of notice it's her, and I will be cheering so hard for her, @sarahall3 and @emmajanelbates on July 18. It's just really been a hard year, and certainly not the one I imagined it would be. It is what it is, and it's just a fact of the sport that there will be ups and downs. Just taking it one day at a time and grateful for the ones who always have my back."".

Longer post for what this means to me to come… but, yesterday I got called out from the bullpen to represent the United States at the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS!! #Oregon22 Bittersweet and unexpected news for an alternate to hear, as I was genuinely rooting for our rockstar marathon team. However, I'm beyond thankful for this opportunity to represent my country at… WORLDS! I hate that I'm gonna throw my age out here again, but at 37 (Not 38, Wikipedia) this is my first time representing my country at a world competition. I get teary eyed just saying that because for a while I thought that dream had pasted… but, on July 18, I'll get to line up with some of the world's best marathoners sporting the red, white and blue. 🇺🇸 Cue training montage: Your girl has 2 weeks to get ready for this marathon… and trust me, I'm treating race like a battle, not a victory lap. See you soon, @wchoregon22. Photo by: @joshszink"".
