<p>Hey, I'm currently a junior in high school, and want to get recruited in the throws.
My discus PR as a junior was 172-7 and shot 49-10
My SAT scores are math 720 reading 720 writing 800 to a total of 2240.
My weighted GPA is around 4.2
Can anyone tell me what my chances are of being recruited to like Princeton, Yale, or Stanford?</p>
<p>Academically should be ok. Shot put looks a little short but who knows. May also depend on your size and current training regime If you are now a junior! You should write Coach Samara soon. He will be able to contact you July 1 and give you some indication.</p>
<p>These guidelines may help … [Men’s</a> Track Recruiting Guidelines](<a href=“http://www.ncsasports.org/recruiting-tools/College-Track-Recruiting/mens-track-recruiting-guidelines]Men’s”>http://www.ncsasports.org/recruiting-tools/College-Track-Recruiting/mens-track-recruiting-guidelines). The Ivies tend to be on the lower end of the DI requirements. Recruitment for track and field is tough because the squads are so big and recruits cross 4 classes of students … some years they may only be able to recruit 1 or 2 weight men. Contacting coaches is typically very easy (usually there is a contact link on the team web-page) and their responses will let you know if you are in the hunt pretty quickly.</p>
<p>PS - If you’re a borderline IVY recruit then the NESCAC schools (Amherst, Williams, etc) would likely be VERY interested in recruiting you … for these school look at the D3 guidelines.</p>
<p>PS #2 - you may get more responses on the athletic recruiting forum here on CC</p>
