<span style="font-size: 14px;">The first ever MileSplit All-American Teams for this past 2014 outdoor track & field season are being released this week. The selection process included taking into consideration multiple factors but not limited to: season best performances and national rankings, consistency and body of work, finishes in major championship and post-season meets as well as a head-to-head results against other top national ranked competition in their event were all used to determine the top 8 individuals and relays to make up our All-American squads.</span></p>
Born in England, but raised in the United States, Bethan Knights certainly adopted the way of the American Dream this past year as her hard work paid off to go from a little known runner in the state of California to becoming the US high school national record holder in the two mile with her 9:53.54 performance at the Brooks PR Invitational in her final high school race.
The following 8 individuals have been selected to the MileSplit All-American Team in the girls 3200 meter/2mile run from the 2014 outdoor season as they have been chosen by MileSplit as the 8 best national performers in their event from this past spring.
