2016 – 2017 Olympic Stream AAP Carding Selection Reasoning

Phase 1 – General Carding Pool An athlete must be in the General Carding Pool to be considered for carding. Phase 1 is a list of the athletes who will be considered in the process outlined in Phase 2. Being listed does not guarantee selection.

The following athletes will be admitted to the General Carding Pool provided they submit a completed and signed Application Form (Appendix 3) and training and competition plan by the deadline date:

Current SR1 or SR2 carded athletes Athletes who have achieved the performance standard outdoors for their event within the Qualifying Period (see Performance Standards and Qualification Periods noted in Appendix 2) Athletes who are currently carded and who have submitted a “Notification of Injury, Illness or Pregnancy” form to maintain their carding status during the carding cycle, and who have otherwise fulfilled all requirements to be considered for a Medical Card

Phase 2 – Nomination to Sport Canada

In October, 2016, the NTC will review the athletes in the General Carding Pool and select athletes to be nominated for carding. The NTC will consider athletes through the following five steps in sequential order:

Step 1 • Athletes who won an individual medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics who the NTC believe demonstrate a realistic potential to win an individual or relay medal at the 2017 London IAAF World Championships • Relay athletes who ran in the final and who won a medal in a relay at the 2016 Rio Olympics who the NTC believe demonstrate a realistic potential to win an individual or relay medal at the 2017 London IAAF World Championships

STEP LEVEL NAME EVENT 1 SR1 Andre De Grasse 200m 1 SR1 Derek Drouin High Jump 1 SR1 Brianne Theisen-Eaton (Declined) Heptathlon 1 SR1 Damian Warner Decathlon 1 SR1 Aaron Brown 4x100m Relay 1 SR1 Akeem Haynes 4x100m Relay 1 SR1 Brendon Rodney 4x100m Relay

Updated April 12th 2017

Step 2 • Finalists (see Section 1 – General program description and purpose) in an individual event at the 2016 Rio Olympics who the NTC believe demonstrate a realistic potential to win an individual or relay medal at the 2017 London IAAF World Championships (see Appendix 1 – Senior Cards for clarification on SR1 and SR2 eligibility and the Sport Canada definition of a finalist) • Relay athletes who ran in the final and finished in the Top 8 in a relay at the 2016 Rio Olympics who the NTC believe demonstrate a realistic potential to win an individual or relay medal at the 2017 London IAAF World Championships (see Appendix 1 – Senior Cards for clarification on SR1 and SR2 eligibility and the Sport Canada definition of a finalist)

STEP LEVEL NAME EVENT 2 SR1 Mohammed Ahmed 5000m 2 SR2 Shawnacy Barber Pole Vault 2 SR1 Melissa Bishop 800m 2 SR1 Evan Dunfee 50k Race Walk 2 SR Inaki Gomez (Declined) 20k Race Walk 2 SR1 Noelle Montcalm 4x400m Relay 2 SR1 Carline Muir 4x400m Relay 2 NCAA Sage Watson 4x400m Relay

Step 3 • Athletes who finished in the top 16* in an individual event (top 20* – Race Walk and Marathon) at the 2016 Rio Olympics who the NTC believe demonstrate a realistic potential to become finalists at the 2017 London IAAF World Championships • A maximum of 2 athletes from each of the relay squads at the 2016 Rio Olympics, who are not eligible under Steps 1 or 2 who the NTC believe demonstrate a realistic potential to become finalists at the 2017 London IAAF World Championships

STEP LEVEL NAME EVENT 3 SR Kelsie Ahbe Pole Vault 3 SR2 Matthew Hughes 3000m Steeple 3 SR Brandon McBride 800m 3 SR Charles Philibert-Thiboutot 1500m 3 SR Geneviève LaLonde 3000 Steeple 3 SR1 Johnathan Cabral 110mH 3 SR Eric Gillis Marathon 3 SR1 Phylicia George 100mH 3 SR1 Khamica Bingham 4x100m Relay 3 SR1 Crystal Emmanuel 4x100m Relay 3 NCAA Bolade Ajomale 4x100m Relay 3 SR Chanice Chase 4x400m Relay 3 SR Oluwasegun Makinde 4x100m Relay 3 NCAA Micha Powell 4x400m Relay

Step 4 • Athletes who are eligible for Development or NCAA cards AND who the NTC believe demonstrate a realistic potential to become a finalist at the 2020 or 2019 IAAF World Championships

Step 5 • All athletes in the Carding Pool who have not been nominated through any of the above 4 steps will be considered based on an athlete’s realistic potential to become a finalist at the 2020 Olympic Games or 2019 IAAF World Championships • Athletes will be ranked based on accumulated points from the criteria below. Ties will be broken by NTC voting • Email Corey Dempsey ([email protected]) to request a copy of your (bridging the gap analysis) or (high performance pathway) document.

Scoring: The AC Statistical Analysis “High Performance Pathway” – Average seasonal best performances and career pathway analysis for the finalists at the last 3 major Championships (2013, 2015 World Championships, and 2016 Olympic Games). Pathways will be published once completed o 0-1 year out from finalist = 3 points o 2-3 years out from finalist = 2 points o 4-5 years out from finalist = 1 point

NOTE: For athletes who fall outside the pathway in regards to performance or age, the NTC will conduct a more in- depth athlete analysis

"Bridging the Gap" analysis – Athlete performance trend over the past 3 years compared with event progression (using Olympic Games/World Championship finalists and World Rankings in years without a major championship) over the past 3 years NOTE: Special attention will be given to factors that can skew results (medical –injury/illness/pregnancy, changing events, etc.)

Updated April 12th 2017

o 1 point awarded to athletes who “Bridge the Gap” in their event – the gap between the event progression and their individual performance progression has decreased

National Team Performances as stated below (points will only be assigned at highest level) o Olympic Team member receives 1 bonus point o Olympic Games performance points breakdown: § Top 12 = 3 points § Top 16 = 2 points § Top 20 = 1 points o World Juniors Team performance points breakdown: § Top 3 = 2 points § Top 8 = 1 point

Medical Cards

Athletes may be nominated for Medical Cards at the sole discretion of the NTC based on the number of cards available, the nature and details of the diagnosis and prognosis, the documentation provided, the quality of the athlete’s rehabilitation and training plan, the advice of medical experts, and the realistic expectation that the athlete can continue to progress towards becoming a finalist.
