<p>"You clearly must have done well running in high school, devoted a lot of time to it if not loved it. Why are you so sure you won't want to run?? If not for the school's sake, for your own?</p>
<p>Yes, recruited athletes schools spend a lot of time on their sport but because of that also get a lot of support in study, study habits and tutoring."</p>
<p>Engineering majors generally dont make good athletes simply b/c they dont have the time. I loved running at first but after a while it gets kind of repetitive and I'm not being recruited by any top track schools so I wont have the work ethic to excel and not to mention the stress that running and training puts on your body. I did pretty well in track at the high school level based mostly on my natural speed and the strength i developed lifting weights, in college more emphasis is placed on technique and developing technique takes considerable time.</p>
