Athlete Qualification Criteria:
YOU MUST BE ENROLLED BY JULY 1 AND PARTICIPATED FULLY IN THE SUMMER CONDITIONING PROGRAM TO GET AN INVITE (Must not have missed more than 25%). Invites are determined by Summer Training (based on your training log on XCSTATS.com) and 1st two races of the season. ~45 athletes will be invited based on several factors. Being Top 20 (per gender) will not guarantee an invite if you have missed several summer conditioning days. Additional runners may be invited based on their summer training log on XCSTATS.com and by coaches. The selection will not be solely based on your race times but more likely to be based on your participation and work ethic during the current season and past participations/performances for runners with similar marks.
