My times are as listed here:
400: 54.9
800: 2:01
1600: 4:28
3200: 9:45
This year I am a sophomore, but I figure it's never too early to start thinking of colleges. What kind of times would you have to run to walk on or get a solid or even full scholarship to a good state D1 school like Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, etc?
Run any of these times and a total or half scholarship is pretty much guaranteed. 400: 48.0 800: 1:51 1600: 4:08 3200: 9:04
Really depends on the school. I was a preferred walk-on at a Big 12 school with almost identical PR's from my senior year.
For a good reference here is Florida States track walk/on standards

i go to Cal Poly
you need about these times to walk on:
400m: 49.99
800m: dunno, maybe 1:55
1600m: 4:19.99
3200m: 9:19.99
3mi XC: used to be sub 14:45 but is now 15:15 i think
I looked up the big 12 conference results which includes a lot of large midwestern schools, and most of the boys were 47:xx for the 400, 4:06 to 4:15 for the mile, and 13:50 to 14:30 for a track 5k. Also, these schools are probably not sending all of their athletes to the conference championships. Forgot to check 800 times, but I would say you would be able to walk on some d1 teams with your current mile time and you will probably have some improvements in the next two years. Good luck!
You are well on your way to go to a successful d1 school. Those are solid times for a softmore and if you keep improving you might do better than just walking on. For walkon standards for very good d1 schools, I think these are about what you should shoot for:
800: 1:55 or upper tier 1:54
1600: 4:18 (pretty much any team likes these kinda guys)
3200: 9:18-9:16
Not sure for xc I'd say about 15:20 flat 5k but I think a solid place at your state meet/ footlocker would work as well.
Remember certain teams make more cuts, others have a ton of walk ons that wish to join. Make sure you pay attention to these kinda things.
