<p>Hey, is anyone familiar with specific times that would catch the attention of navy recruiters?</p>
<p>I'm thinkin, 1:52/53's for the 800 might spark some attention? </p>
<p>I'm just curious if anyone would have the slightest idea..</p>
<p>thanks,</p>
<p>David</p>
<p>if you can drop a 1:52 that would get the attention of many schools - navy's track program to say the least.</p>
<p>Anything in the low 1:50's would catch their attention, but if you are really wanting to run for the academy, you need to make sure to try to email the coaches ASAP!!! The team roster fills up fast and is very competative. Check out the USNA sports website and it should show all of the coaches email addresses and phone numbers and best of luck to ya!</p>
<p>At my CVW in April, my mid's roommate ran the 800 for the team. I told him I only pulled a 1:56/800 and 4:25/Mile senior year, and he said that I could make the team with that.</p>
<p>I can't imagine they would refuse someone with a 1:52.</p>
<p>ok..interesting, I don't run 52's now, closest I got was a 1:54.5 ish (it was a 4x8 split), so I guess that's a next year thing..if it's a "thing" at all. Thanks for the responses</p>
<p>Make sure you get yourself registered with the NCAA Clearinghouse if you are an incoming plebe. The teams will often keep underclassmen who show promise so they can train for future years. Without NCAA certification you will be out of luck.

<p>that's a pretty good, considering relay splits are almost always slower than the open races.</p>

<p>Hey, I got recruited with a 1:59. I also run a 4:25 and a 52. I've only been running for 1 year.</p>
<p>If you ran a 1:52, you would get attention from many, many schools.</p>
<p>DMeix, i always thought it was the other way around</p>
<p>You get faster times as splits due to your head start of a jog before you recieve the buton, as opposed to standing still start with the open events</p>
<p>I run the 400 with my personal best of 11th grade with a 52.3 split on the 4x4</p>
<p>It depends if your good passing the baton honestly. I've seen really fast guys bumble that, but yeah, if you know what your doing it should be quicker on a relay. (Could depend when the timers hitting the button too...)</p>
<p>There is a kid at my high school that is Navy Class of 2010 that runs a 49 second flat 400 (electronic time), and a 48.1 second split time...He has not been contacted by the track coaches. He was also 1st team All-State in football, and state finalist (track) in our largest state classification.</p>
<p>I think anyone that wants to play should try out, but looking at the above posts and times, making the track team may be more competitive than some of you expect.</p>
<p>Does anyone know why some admits are recruited and others are not?</p>
<p>Wow, 48 is really fast, fast enough for Navy.</p>
<p>I've seen the times from some of the mids in the 800m. There are some sophomores and juniors running in the 2:05 range. It seems like the coach gives his athletes a lot of opportunities.</p>
<p>Found this thread searching for "track and field", because those are the only threads I respond to anymore.</p>
<p>1:52 garners attention from almost ANY school in the country - of course the Naval Academy would be more than happy to have you on the team. Typically, 1:55 is the recruiting "minimum" for DI schools (i.e. - that's where you get into scholarship range, but I guess you don't have to worry about that at Navy), and your 1:54.5 split time is already faster than that - start contacting the coaches.</p>
<p>EDIT: Whoever posted the times from the NCAA championships, keep in mind those were prelim times and not PRs from any of those competitors. Shaun Smith - who came in with the top seed - didn't even make the finals. The eventual winner (Brown from UW) "only" ran 1:55 in high school and wasn't recruited by Washington :eek: He's busted his ass and now he runs 1:46.2x and is an NCAA champion.</p>
<p>Ecliptica</p>
<p>Three things to note:</p>
<p>1) The fact that he got to the NCAA finals is amazing in itself. His best time is 1:49.30. The NCAA Championships (and regionals) are not usually about time but more about running a tactical race! This is usually true in some events for high school state championships too! He ran a 48.x 400m at the plebe summer track meet (he now holds the plebe summer 400m track record)</p>
<p>2) High School times DO NOT -- DO NOT -- DO NOT mean that someone is going to run better or worse in college. I have known some real great and average high schooler's, both who did worse at college AND both who performed extremely well! High School times ARE NOT A PREDICTION OF COLLEGE RACING!!!</p>
<p>3) He is a companymate</p>
<p>Wait, when you say "he" are you talking about Ryan Brown or Paul Harris from Navy?
I did see Harris race at LSU Alumni Gold. I believe he went 1:51.xx leading wire-to-wire. He's a very smart racer, I think he most likely had the slowest 400m PR in the field (48.57 or so) so he took it out fast and held on, completely taking the kickers out of the race.</p>
<p>They have a plebe summer track meet?</p>
<p>oooh, fun.</p>
<p>400U-To answer your question, I think it depends on who is brought to the attention of the coaches. A Navy coach happened to be at a swim meet my DD was in, the father of the kid the coach was watching told him to watch my daughter. Fortunately, she had a great race while he was watching and the rest, as they say, is history...</p>
<p>Bottom line: If you want a coach to notice you, contact him/her. Send the school your stats and let them know you are interested. DD never contacted anyone after she visited USNA, so no one contacted her. I guess that's why they didn't approach her. Either that, or she is just not D-I material and I am just a too-proud mom.</p>
<p>Probably the latter is closer to the truth!</p>
