<p>How much gravity do these schools place on athletic ability in granting admission? You would think at least Harvard could find some elite sprinters with top scores.</p>
<p>i run track too... what are your printing times?
and im sorry, but i am to lazy to look are these schools division 1?</p>
<p>Printing?
60m indoor-7.32
100m 11.24</p>
<p>typo: sorry i mean sprinting
what you should do is send the colleges a resume of your sport. I run 100 m in 12.4 (first year track though); my times are not bad for a div 3. However, your times should be good for D1. Send your resume once senior year starts though.</p>
<p>What is your year? You feel a 12.4 will be good enough for a DIII relay perhaps?</p>
<p>Give the coach a call and invite him to come watch you run. No everyone is assured admission, even if the coach likes you, but its a good start.</p>
<p>im a senior right now, but i only did track because i got cut off varsity basketball, and i get really depressed when i dont do a sport. But ya take the advice bessie gave.

take a look at that site, and compare your times to different divisions. I think a 11.8-12.0 will be good for a d3. I said mine isnt that bad though</p>
<p>I have some friends who got into a bunch of reach schools b/c they were not only amazing athletes but had high test scores and grades. It'll def help if you get recruited...contact the coaches as soon as the ncaa allows it (forgot when that is, lol)</p>
<p>Athletes can call coaches anytime they like but coaches are not always allowed to call athletes depending on their year in school, NCAA quiet periods, etc. so if you do not get a call back from the coach-call him again. The office assistant will be happy to tell you when and how to get a hold of the coach. If you are good, they want to talk to you. There are different rules depending on sport, division, and gender-look up the rules for contact on ncaa.org.</p>
