Distance / Middle Distance Track Recruiting

Athletic Recruits
1

<p>I would be interested in recruited athletes' recent experiences, especially for 800 / 1600 / 3200m male runners to Ivy's, LACs (NESCAC, etc) and strong academic DI and DIIIs (Georgetown, JHU, etc).</p>

<p>I've read the recruiting guidelines, but there seem to be a lot of kids, for example, that don't have sub 4:15 1600 PRs that have been recruited by top 25 NCAA DI Track programs.</p>

<p>I'd love to know what schools you were recruited by and what the range of junior year PRs the coaches were looking for. Or any other color / guidance for that matter.</p>

<p>I'm sure other folks are interested, too...</p>

<p>I’d like to see some of the actual results, too. </p>

<p>The recruiting guidelines, like 4:15 for a 1600, are very general. Last year, for example there were about 50 HS juniors in the US who were sub 4:15, in 2010 there were only about 30 - so there is a big ‘supply and demand’ factor in any given year.</p>
