<p>How good do you have to be to get recruited by an Ivy League for track. How much would getting recruited for track could help someone get in. I am a sprinter and my times are pretty good. Do the Ivies have truoble finding sprinters who are able also competative in the applicant pool?</p>
<p>a girl from my school last year was #2 or #3 XC runner in the state (i dont know her times) and she got recruited. she had decent stats (1440 SAT, pretty good grades i would assume) but not stellar; I know that she talked to the coach there and he offered to put in a good word for her. I guess it worked b/c she got in. i dont know if the ivies have trouble finding sprinters who are also competitive academically, but its worth a shot.</p>
