I know less than 4:30 is good...

<p>track is over. xc is my last chance.</p>

<p>I guess i'll just have to get in based on <em>sigh</em> credentials.</p>

<p>By the way...i know you probably have already, but i'd hate for you to mess up something so simple:</p>

<p>Fill out the recruit form on princeton's website.</p>

<p>Combine those with a 4:12 and I'd say you've got a decent shot. However, in elite college admissions there is no such thing as a sure thing. Just make sure the coach knows both your times and your academic stats. Mail them directly to him. Include any newspaper clippings about big races you've won and/or sparkling times you've run.</p>

<p>those are very strong statistics and that mile time is stellar. you have a good shot.</p>

<p>Hey OVB, I wanted to know, how did you reduce your time so much? I'm not running for Princeton, but I have a 6:00 mile (I know, its way off) but I want to get it down to 5:00 over this year...is that possible? And if so, any tips?</p>

26

<p>Yeah, too bad OVB got banned because bendrumfront complained to a mod about him spoiling her threads.</p>

27

<p>Oh damn, I feel so slow with my 7:30 (last year, maybe about 7:15 now) mile but I guess I have an excuse of wrestling in 215-275 weight class:D</p>

28

<p>OVB, you're basically guaranteed. PM me if you want and I'll give you the Princeton coach's email, I'm sure he'd love to talk to you.</p>

29

<p>Yo, some of us are still to break 8:30 :p</p>
