(INDIANAPOLIS) The Indiana Invaders are hosting the American Milers Club High Performance Series on June 27th, June 29th, and July 1st. The fields include NCAA Champions, Olympians, top Indiana athletes, and athletes from the top US elite development clubs battling for top performances on the Famed Billy Hayes Track on Indiana University’s Bloomington campus.

The American Milers Club High Performance Series is an outgrowth of meets hosted by the Indiana Invaders in 2004 to meet the needs of Elite Athlete Development programs from throughout the country. For the July 1st meet there will also be open and community races at the venue.

Top clubs supporting the series and providing many top athletes include the Farm Team, Hansons-Brooks, Wisconsin Runner, Zap Fitness, Big Sur Distance Project, Team USA Minnesota and the Indiana Invaders.

For the July 1st race, $1000 will go to the best meet performance in the 800 or 1500 where the performance exceeds the following standards, 1:46.00/3:38.00 for men. Power Tables will be used to determine the single winner of this $1000 challenge. This prize money would be split if a tie exists after applying the Power Tables. To be eligible an athlete must have raced in one of previous two dates of the series to be eligible for prize monies on the 1st of July.

Invaders Director Greg Harger said, "The fields are shaping up to be extremely competitive. There will be some great head-to-head competition as athletes look to chase World Championship "A" qualifying standards and US National Qualifying Marks for next year's US Nationals, that will be held in Indianapolis." Harger added, "We look forward to building on this series as we explore expanding the series to include additional events that cater to the post-collegian."
