Eligibility question?

none

thanks but any real answers?

Depends on if you want to compete in NAIA, D2, or DI.

Were you a full time student in those three years?

I signed up as a full time student all those years but two semesters I withdrew from a class making me not a full time student.

What are my options for NAIA, D2 and D1?

NCAA has age restrictions. In the NAIA, there are a good amount of people in their upper 20s. For example, remember the controversy about the men's 5k at NAIA indoor nationals? They cut it a lap short and some dude said he would have won because he had a kick left. Well, the dude that got third and "should have won", from Indiana Wesleyan, is 28 years old. Isn't that bull crap? Go to their roster. He is listed as a Sophomore on their XC page.

Long story short, you can go NAIA. You have 5 years to complete 4 years of eligibility. HOWEVER, since you never competed, the five year clock never started.

So could I compete at a NAIA the next 3 years?

If you have never competed before in college, then yes.

If you did XC and track freshman year, then never did again, then no.

If you competed even one year, that's the year that you 5 year clock starts. If you're within 5 years of the first year you competed, you still can until that 5 year period is up.

You didn't seem to specify if you ever competed...

Still, if you did XC, but not track, you could still compete in track.

However, NCAA is most likely out of the question.

Bump.

No I have not competed for a college team during my three years nor have I gained the amount of credits a normal three year student would.

I'm hoping I can compete a couple more years. I have a scholarship lined up for next semester since I wasn't able to sign up for classes before this Fall deadline.
