<p>I am a XC and Track runner (Distance). Do i have to get recruited to run at an ivy league or do they have walk-ons? (Just by the way i run a 5:32 1600 and a 12:08 3200)</p>

<p>Yes, there are walk-ons in Ivy track. But most women are sub 5:10 and the ones scoring points are sub 4:55, (converted from 1500m). Club sports can be a great option - without the 4 hour per day time commitment.</p>

<p>No. You do NOT have to be recruited through a LL to later compete with and Ivy team. There are many scholar athletes who walk on and compete successfully with the teams.
This will be dependent on the times of the walk on/competitiveness.
Best of luck.</p>
