(2) All remaining team positions for both men and women (up to a  total team membership of 6 men and 6 women) will be filled based on  24-hour performances on certified (or otherwise judged by AUA to be  accurate in cases where certification is impractical) courses or  tracks, in races which provide lap-recording to USATF and IAAF  standards, in rank order, achieved between May 1, 2008 and January 1,  2010.
