If I can run 17:40 5k now, I'm not taking the SAT or ACT until Jr. year
but I'm confident I can score good enough to get into any of these schools, maybe except Georgetown. I run about 40-45 miles a week, not sure if that's a lot or not. I also may try for a basketball scholarship. Im a girl btw.
Villanova and Colorado are a couple of the best programs in the country. Maybe 16:40? I don't know much about girl times.
womens xc is dominated by milers. Go run 4:50 and you have what they want.

Good answer as far as the mile goes. They do lean toward milers and low mileage runners.
Also, one of Nova's recent recruits has high school PB's of 4:51 for the mile and 17:51 for 5000.
Overall, Nova's Top Ten 5000 college times range from 15:17.28 to 15:51.39, and most were NCAA champions in CC, the 5000, or some other middle distance event. Quite a few of those were multi-NCAA champions.
Villanova: Be a white foreigner, talk yourself up a lot, underperform at big races
Colorado: Be a white American, be a top 3 guy in the country or be an underdeveloped high school kid from altitude that still ran really fast
Georgetown: Be a middle distance specialist that can't get into an Ivy school
Arkansas: Be a middle distance specialist that can't get into community college
"score good enough". Ouch.
Oh, you're a girl....disregard my previous post.
Yeah, high school freshman always "think" they can do stuff, so don't be so sure you can do well on the SAT or ACT. When I was 9th grade I said to myself "If that guy scored in the 95th percentile I can too", then I didn't.
17:40 for 5000m on a track or 17:40 for a lightning fast/short XC course?
Was it in a big race so they can compare you to top prospects from across the country?
What are your second and third fastest times on different courses/tracks?
Do you have 1600/3200m times?
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?

How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
