Right off the back I'm not going to say I am a "great runner" but, (I think) I have decent to good times for around my area and grade (17:20 5k, this year and 4:57 1600m freshmen year) and this spring I have high expectations and intense (more volume as in base obviously) training planned. Is it to early for me to introduce myself to some small D2 schools around my area? If so, how should the e-mail look or be formated?
Bump.
Yes,too early, and it's right off the bat.
You're gonna want to use PowerPoint.
Don't ever say something like that or else I will come find you. but ya way to early and way more progress to be determined.
Yeah, WAY too early. Times from freshman year are completely irrelevant at this point. Come back when it's the summer between junior and senior year.
Any coach will say "that's nice, let me know how sophomore and junior year goes"
The problem is you're focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.
Why have you narrowed yourself down to small division 2 schools already?
Study every day. Run every day. Improve
Then, like someone else said, between junior and senior year when you have a reasonable estimate of what your HS efforts have yielded, contact the appropriate schools.
Sophomore year of high school isn't too early to learn the difference between too and to.
Work harder on academics so you don't waste time at a D2 school.
