    1.     Best marks at the first two indoor meets;
    2.     Attendance at scheduled event practices and clinics ;
    3.     Completion of  workouts on your own;
    4.     How much "attention" you require on the trip;
    5.     Academic and citizenship eligibility.  Athletes attending Simplot must be eligible according to the criteria set by the school for extra-curricular activities.
