<p>Hi - I'm a U of Chicago hopeful, and what I'm wondering is if I would have a shot of getting recruited into their XC and Track Teams with these PR's:</p>
<p>5K- 16:45
800m- 2:01
1600m- 4:30
3200m-9:57</p>
<p>If so.... would trying to get recruited as a freshman increase my chances of getting into the school and how would I go about doing this? Thanks!</p>
<p>I assume you are male. If you are female, these times would get you a running scholarship at a top Div I program. (Div III schools cannot give scholarships.)</p>
<p>Email the coach. Chicago does some recruiting – the coaches will put in a good word with admissions, and this probably helps to some degree (assuming your academics are a good match for Chicago). Chicago is part of the UAA conference, and that conference has much softer recruiting than others (such as NESCAC). But they do recruit.</p>
<p>Your times suggest you are more a middle distance runner. That may help a bit since many Div III schools have lot of distance runners, but seem to have more trouble finding competitive sprinters and middle distance runners.</p>
<p>Thanks! I’ll definitely look into that!</p>
