The 2017 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships were held at Hornet Stadium on the campus of California State University, Sacramento in Sacramento, California. Organized by USA Track and Field, the four-day competition took place June 22–25 and served as the national championships in track and field for the United States. The event was held in conjunction with the USA Junior Outdoor Track and Field Championships.[1][2]
The 50 kilometers race walk was held January 28 at Santee, California. While no men were able to make the 4:06 qualifying standard, two women were able to achieve their 4:30 qualifying time, with Katie Burnett walking faster than the second place man. The other qualifier was former world record holder Erin Taylor-Talcott.[3] 2017 is the first year the women will be allowed to race that distance at the world championships.[4]

Qualification
The 2017 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships serve as the qualification meet for United States representatives in international competitions, including the 2017 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 2016 Diamond League Champions received byes into the World Championships. The athletes eligible for a bye are:
Defending World Champions
- Christian Taylor - Triple jump
- Joe Kovacs - Shot put
- Tianna Bartoletta - Long jump
- Allyson Felix - 400 meters
- Ashton Eaton - Decathlon (Eaton announced his retirement from the sport January 3, 2017, and will not defend his title)
Diamond League Champions
- LaShawn Merritt - 400 meters
- Kerron Clement - 400 m hurdles
- Erik Kynard - High jump
- Christian Taylor - Triple jump (Does not displace; already World Champion)
- Keni Harrison - 100 m hurdles
- Cassandra Tate - 400 m hurdles
Both qualified by winning their respective events in the championships.[6]
