USATF HAS ANNOUNCED a 129-athlete roster for the Olympic Games in Paris, August 01–11 (track dates).

Each athlete is listed with USATF placing in that event.

* = number of previous Olympic teams, if any (but not necessarily in that event).

As always, selection of who will start in each relay (4x1s, 4x4s plus mixed 4×4) will be done by the coaching staffs as the events get closer. Any athlete on the team in any event is eligible for relay duty. The USA has not qualified a team for the new mixed-sex marathon walk relay.
