I went to school on athletic scholarship in the late 70's. I have a challenging intellectual career, but there is no question Div. 1 running delayed my personal and career development. It delayed me socially as well since the design of most coaches (I don't blame them) is to isolate their charges from the numerous distractions at a university. I don't have any regrets, and indeed, I was from an unemployed single mother home, so the scholarship was welcome. But I was a good student and ignored means to attend school on a combination of need and academic merit assistance.
I am not at all a fan of athletic scholarships unless the goal is to make coaching and teaching a career, where the priority on athletics over academics which obtains with a scholarship is more or less compatible with that kind of a career goal.
I say this because with the kind of times this young woman has run she will attract scholarship money.
I know it sounds boring and repetitive, but I would really urge this young woman to go to the school that best fits her academic interests. Period. I know this may be difficult financially, but if you can make a decision based on academics and fit, it is more likely she can view running as a means to express herself and to put her in a position where she can control running rather than having it be the other way around.
It is not easy to let go and chase the running dream - which is a great thing for a Dad to experience. But really, now is the time to think most practically of her future. The truth is that you never know how an athlete can handle to rigors of Div. 1 training (it sure is not high school), and I would argue that there is even more variability in terms of high school progress in women than men. Make the school a place she really wants to land.
