Australia will take a stacked team into next month's world cross country championships in Bathurst after the likes of Stewart McSweyn, Abbey Caldwell and Jack Rayner dominated the trials in Canberra.
With Australia hosting the world titles for the first time in mid-February, the cream of the nation's talented middle-distance crop all threw their hats in the ring for selection.
Commonwealth 1500m champion Olli Hoare was given leave to skip the trials but is all but certain to claim the discretionary spot in the the mixed 2km relay, where the host nation has legitimate gold-medal aspirations.
