       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. 
BODY CONDITIONING
       Those who are 100% certain they are going to participate in Outdoor Track and Field should try to get into 8th period Advanced Team Conditioning class 2nd semester.  It is not mandatory, but can be an advantage.
