Any guidance or suggestions would be great. It really seemed so much easier for my DS and looking at schools.
I have an all-over-the-place list my DD of schools she can competitively run at and have a business program. She doesn’t know what she wants to focus on in business. She is in the business academy in HS so has learned she doesn’t like marketing.
She is meeting with coaching from some of the schools listed below. She feels she wants a smaller school. I have some bigger ones on list for her to see.
Loyola of Maryland
Marist
Mount St. Mary’s (MD)
Seton Hill
Kutztown
Siena
Susquehanna
Stonehill
Lafayette (doesn’t have business program)- would have to be economics major
Merrimack
Duquesne (not sure about city school)
William and Mary
Quinnipiac (not sure she could competitive run for them yet - need to see cc season)
University of Rhode Island
Bryant
West Chester
MIllersville (may be too slow for her- she doesn’t want to be faster person coming in as freshman)
Didn’t care for
Bucknell (felt campus too big for her)
Monmouth - nothing special
Rider
Rowan (10 minutes from home and doesn’t want to be that close)
TCNJ
If she is sure she wants business perhaps Babaon and Bentley? Also if Jesuit colleges work then Fordham, Fairfield, UScranton and others could be good options.
It would be helpful if you could provide academic stats and any financial limitations.
If she is tending towards smaller schools, Denison (Ohio) has an excellent Global Commerce program and very competitive D3 XC/T&F teams. My son runs track at Denison. It’s a very cohesive and supportive group, and the school provides terrific facilities and coaching/training support.
Runcruit is another website that gives information on ballpark recruiting standards for schools. My S24 is a runner, too, but he has decided not to pursue it in college.
It’s exciting that your D is already talking to so many coaches!
