This list will vary between now and the time of competition, due to some students personal availability. Selectors may also add to the team following the IGA Tasmanian Cross Country Championships in Pontville on July 31.

Following the championships in Pontville, the open men and women teams will also be selected.

The Australian Cross Country Championships will be held at St Pauls College in the Brisbane suburb of Bald Hills. The course is likely to be in contrast to the conditions that athletes faced in Symmons Plains recently, as it is reportedly very flat, all grass and likely to be much warmer and dryer than recent conditions experienced in Tasmanian events.

The IGA Tasmanian Cross Country Championships begin at 12 noon on Saturday July 31 at the Pontville Sporting and Equestrian Complex.
