With a little over a month left before the Toyota USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, here is a list of Washington affiliated athletes who have achieved qualifying marks for the 2019 IAAF world track & field championships in Doha, Qatar September 28-October 6th, 2019, and/or the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan July 31-August 9th, 2020.

Washington affiliated athletes are those who attended high school, college or graduate school in the state of Washington, while professionals are those currently training in the state.

We will update this list on a periodic basis throughout the 2019 outdoor season.

Athletes in bold print have both the world championships and Olympic standards. Lindsey Flanagan has the Olympic standard as a result of finishing inside the top 10 in the Boston Marathon, which is part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors series. 

Olivia Gruver's mark at Stanford was made before the start of the Olympic qualifying period on May 1st, so she does not have the Olympic standard.
