I didn’t run cross or track my senior year. I placed at state in cross my junior year however. Continued running after high school and will be a sophomore next year. I have not raced since track season 2017.
I’m in good shape and could probably PR within the next 3 months. I also have a 3.8 GPA.
What are the odds of a low level D1 school letting me walk on? I know most will say go D3, but I have this school in mind because it will be cheap to attend.
I also made it to regionals in the 3200 in 2017.
Where are you, the low level D1 or are you transferring? Times?
Transfer. Ran 15:58 and. 9:55
some low level d2s/d1s and most d3s would prob take you
I am unaware of any D1 programs that would take somebody that slow especially as a transfer where the standard is even tougher. You are too slow for an average D3 team.
I was slower than the OP and walked onto a very good team and eventually ran in the Olympic Trials.
But my team let almost anyone practice.
Bad runners eventually quit.
I don't know why things seem to be so different now with roster restrictions.
A track team could be 50 people if you have multiple people in most events.
The title says it all. Respectable XC teams carry 14 guys whose HS PRs range from 8:50-9:30 so why would they entertain a guy who ran 9:55?
100-1 odds until you give us the name of the school that you are interested in. Why transfer? Stay where you are and try to make it or run on the club team.
It’s a school in Kentucky. My current school doesn’t have the classes I need next fall.
