
Twelve boys and girls will be selected

All auto-qualifying must be done in races at The Armory during the 2014-2015
season.

For automatic bids, only the winner will receive an invitation. 2nd, 3rd, 4th (etc)
places will not slide up into auto qualifying spots if the runners in front decline the
invitation or if they have already qualified.

Once all of the automatic bids have been handed out the next three fastest
runners from races at The Armory will be invited – bringing the total athletes
invited from the Armory to eight.

Exceptional athletes from out of the area will be invited as well. Invitations will be
selected based in times run during the 2014-2015 indoor season. Rare exceptions
may be made for boys who have run under 4:10 and girls who have run under
4:50 last spring.
