USA Pentathlon is looking for high school and collegiate runners with a swimming background. Benchmarks for elite level recruits are based on their pentathlon points in running and swimming as well as experience in other sports (see benchmarks below). Our goal is to recruit athletes who have enough run+swim points to qualify for USA Pentathlon training camps at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
Benchmarks for Elite Level Recruits
Training Camp for Elite Level Recruits at No Charge

Any combination of swimming and running times (faster swimming and slower running or slower swimming and faster running) that scores 875 qualifies female athletes to attend the camp at no charge.
