Hey there, I’m currently a freshman at a D1 school with a very poor cross country program and would like to transfer into a decent D1 team. Doesn’t have to be D1 but I like the big school atmosphere that I’m in currently. Academics are also important to me. I’d like a team where I’ll have to work to be competitive within the team. I’m from Ohio and location doesnt matter if the schools the perfect fit for me. My goal is to be at 15:30 5k ASAP but my most recent race was a 16:39 5k on road after 4 weeks of training. Money isn’t too big of a concern luckily. I’ll list some more info for you all so you can tell me if you think that it’s possible.
PRs, most from high school xc
400: 54.2(4x4 split)
800: 2:01
1600: 4:40(sick at the time of this race, never got to race again)
5k Road: 16:39
5k Track: 16:20(August, 2017, this was after about 10 weeks at 50-60 miles, only strength workouts, not much speed work)
6’0” 140lbs
Thank you I would appreciate any and all recommendations and opinions!
