<p>Would a time of 15:00 for 3 miles be fast enough for me to be recruited into UCLA or Ivy Leagues? I'm a junior</p>

<p>kwkingdom, 3 miles isn’t really a standard distance in XC or track, of course- the XC guidelines are for a 3.1 (5K) on an XC course. And HS boys don’t usually run further than a 3200 (2 mile) on the track. </p>
<p>Do you have times for any of the standard track and XC distances to compare to the recruiting standards above? UCLA is going to have a faster recruiting threshold than the Ivies. They aren’t as concerned about the academic benchmarks for their athletes the way the Ivies are. If you are running a 15:00 5K and have the academics, you can get recruited ANYWHERE.</p>
<p>Hard to Apply these times for ivies, especially for sprints where ivy times are generally slower. Indeed, it seemed a pb, wind aided or not, of 11.0 for 100 meters with good academics made a very attractive candidate for ivy schools. Nescac schools seem also to be of some interest to cc readers and their recruiting times are much slower. Does anyone have a copy of the real ivy recruiting thresholds?</p>
<p>You can always check meet results and see what current team members are running.</p>
<p>Indeed’ to get an idea on what was recruitable, we aimed for the top 10 pbs for the year in the ivies. My son did not even contact the cosches until he achieved this at the end of junior season because we felt we wanted a solid punch on the initial impression. We were concerned that beginning the dance with a top 40 time would not have been productive.</p>
<p>Hi, I didn’t want to open new topic so I’ll post my question here. I’m a junior, international student. My 60m PB is 6.86, ran last week. I wanted to ask you if this is a good time for Stanford and what is the best way to contact coaches.</p>
<p>That looks pretty fast, just comparing it to the standards in post #2. Go to the Stanford website and register as a prospective athlete:</p>

<p>Thank you for a quick response.</p>
<p>Email the Stanford coaches and mention that you also filled out the online recruiting questionnaire. Try to write a little bit that shows that you looked up some information about their program and end with a question (to which the answer isn’t on the site).</p>
