Keely Hodgkinson and Laura Muir have been named in Great Britain and Northern Ireland's team for the European Indoor Championships.
England's Hodgkinson, 20, will defend her 800m title after setting a world-leading time earlier in February.
Scotland's four-time European indoor champion Muir, who has won the 1500m and 3,000m titles twice each, competes over 1500m this year.
The event takes place in Istanbul, Turkey from 2-5 March.
England's Morgan Lake, who set a British women's high jump record, external earlier this month, is also in the squad alongside compatriot Jazmin Sawyers, who will compete in the long jump.
"I have been pleased to see that a number of athletes have stepped up during this indoor season, which means we are able to select a team who have demonstrated current form this year to be in the best position to perform competitively on the European stage," UK Athletics technical director Stephen Maguire said.
The event will be shown across BBC Sport platforms.
