Please help me name the D1 schools who use all of the 12.5 track scholarship allowed on only distance and middle distance runners. I know that OK State does this but are there others?
These are schools who have likely decided they can't win against some of the bigger track powers so they focus on cross country team and inidvual track titles.
This is a strategy I'd like to see more schools follow, especially the ones who have ppor programs now largely because they just trickle a few decent athletes over 16 events rather than specialize and put together a spirnt powrerhouse or a jumps powerhouse or a distance powerhouse. Distance makes the most sense though because of cross country being a seperate distance only sport giving those schools a good shot at conference titles, etc.
