    Hey,

    I'm an incoming junior in high school and I wanted to know my true potential for the mile, two mile and 5k races.

    My freshman year I ran a 4:46 mile with no training. Then I started training my sophomore year, January 2014, I ran indoor and outdoor track. My PR's are 4:27 for the mile, 9:38 for the 3200.

    So I was wondering what times I could expert for my cross country season because I have never ran cross country before. I feel that I could run even faster for the mile and two mile, plus I have only been conditioning for 7 months and I have decreased my times by 20 seconds! How faster can I get if I keep training by the end of my senior year? Can I get into D1 schools and scholarships?

    Thanks

    If you ran 4:46 on literally no training you should of broke 4:10 by now. Quit exaggerating.

    Heck yes. I went from being a 5:01 freshman to being a 4:12 Junior. Do well in CC and track; coaches will take notice! Also take the ACT and practice hard for it! That will put you a foot higher than others! In your situation right now you could garner some money from smaller Division one programs and walk-on at some mid level programs. Godspeed.

    No kidding, Jim Ryun ran 5:35 and then went 4:08 9 months later. OP should have run 3:5x already.
