First advice: consider attending a school where you can run xc and track. If you ask people who ran for their college teams about their experience, 99% will say it is one of the most memorable things in their lives. Even if your run d3, just run for your school!


I suggest the opposite. My times were a bit faster, decided to go to a D1 school where I knew I wasn't fast enough to even get a tryout. It was my best option financially and academically. Other schools offered tryouts and walk-on spots, but I really had one choice. Ran club for a few years with guys who were still pretty fast, and eventually broke off to train by myself. Very happy with my choice. I don't see how I would have maintained my academics, friends, extracurricular activities and overall happiness.

Search to see if your college has a club, if not think about starting one.
