A couple of athletes will be hoping to make an impression at this weekend's National Track and Field Championships in Waitakere as they look to secure London Olympic spots.

Eight athletes have already met the NZOC qualification standards.

High jumper Liz Lamb, hurdler Andrea Miller and sprinter Monique Williams are those pressing their claims this weekend.

Beijing Olympic Games 1500 metre silver medallist Nick Willis has opted for the 5000 and will defend the title he won in Dunedin last year.
