gerry bradyMay 4 2008, 5:24pm"Selection policy: First 4 finishers in the senior trial races. For juniors, form in the trial race and in World Youths Challenge (same weekend as the trial) will be taken into consideration."

So form in both races will be taken into consideration for the junior selection but all of the men or women could be selected from either race or more likely from a combination of both races.

Rene BorgJul 13 2008, 12:46pmWell done to the team for their performances yesterday in Germany! Can't wait to her the tale of how the event was and the course in particular.

Interesting to see how strong Turkey has become in hill running...
James McFaddenJul 15 2008, 11:36amCongratulations to all the teams. There were some very fine performances in a large field of Europe's best. The performance by the men's senior team in particular is proof of the hard work being put in by all our athletes.
