<p>Is anyone aware of what the track times would need to be, in order to be recruited for track and field, say as a sprinter 100m, 200m?</p>
<p>What would help a field hockey player be a recruited athlete? Position or something else?</p>
<p>I would suggest looking at the times posted at some of the schools on your list from their meets last spring. Are you within the “ballpark” of their stronger runners or an eighth grader with potential to be in that range, then a coach would be excited to talk to you and perhaps help in the admissions “game”. The times range significantly from the top track schools to lower level track programs, do some simple searches on websites and you can get a pretty good idea. As far as field hockey, it’s a bit tougher since judging talent is a bit more subjective. What really matters is how many years you’ve been playing/awards/camps attended/all-star teams. If you’re a talented goalie and the school needs a goalie, this will help. Otherwise, position doesn’t have much to do with it but rather your skill level. I would strongly recommend contacting coaches this fall and also filling out “prospective athlete” forms on school websites. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>for track, look at NCAA championship times. Also, your jr year the coaches can tell you scores that they’re looking for. </p>
<p>For FH, it really depends on who graduated (or will graduate) from the college team the year you come in… pretty much luck of the draw. If you are super talented, though, they probably won’t pass you up.</p>
