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.

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.

except for the 10,000 meters whose qualifying period is from
The qualifying performance for the men's 35 km Race Walk must be attained in the period
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]
