<p>If I've been doing XC, Winter Track, and Spring Track at a varsity-but-not recruitable level, is it still a good extracurricular to report?</p>
<p>Bump 10char please please please</p>
<p>yes. Im a distance runner too! =D. I would say that putting that on your application would be very wise and strong. If you are a dedicated runner it looks better to colleges than you being a member in 10 different clubs.</p>
<p>Definately put them on your applications and write about it in your essay and you’ll see some good responses.</p>
<p>OK 
I’m not a captain because that always goes to the fastest on the team, and my team is really good - but I’m varsity, and I’ve been really committed to it, among some other ECs, so I wanted to write about it in at least one of my essays Thanks for the help! Other responses?</p>
<p>Yo wassup man, I’m a distance guy too!! Yeah, it’s actually really good if you put that on your application. What year are you? If you’re not a Senior, all you have to do is run a sub 16 minute 5k to be recruited! ;)</p>
<p>i’m a girl, my 5k is in the 22s or 23s dipped sub 22 once or twice but yeah, not really recruitable - i was usually 5th or 6th on the varsity roster for xc</p>
<p>Cross country is basically the best… just sayin’.</p>
<p>I love it so much. </p>
<p>but yeah, put it on your application for sure! it shows dedicaiton.</p>
<p>^^^agree. Anything that you do for 3-4+ years shows dedication. If you have any leadership in there as well, even better. (Can you create something: organize the meets, keep the roster/attendance, order the team shirts/uniforms…so you go beyond just team member). Varsity is excellent.</p>
<p>As for “putting it in your essay”, don’t try to force the topic if it doesn’t work. It’ll be in your application, which just fine.</p>
