Okay, so I started doing track last year as a sophomore, and I really liked it (but hadn’t thought about doing it in college for sure), so this year I tried XC (as a junior) and I love it! I’m number 2 on my school’s Varsity team and my PR is 22:24 for a 5k. I have been thinking a bit about running in college… I previously hadn’t thought about college sports but now it is something I am very interested in. I’m not excactly sure where to start… I have a lot of DIII schools I am looking at, and my academics are realistic for most of them. I’m not really sure what I should do and if it would even be worth pursuing at this point. (Ps I am taking the SAT this Sat. October 3, 2015 and can post scores within the next month)
You might look at the websites for some of the schools you are interested in. You can usually find athletes and meet information which should give you an idea of some times run in meets.
You can also contact a coach and maybe they can give you an idea of what the squad runs in training so you have something to shoot for.
