Which schools? Provide the names becuase I am confident that I will be able to tell you that they didn't respond to kids who ran faster than 4:20.
Here’s some in my area. All of these teams except BYU have people currently on the roster who don’t break 4:20
Utah Valley
Weber State
Utah State
Montana State
BYU (this is the exception. I personally know people that ran 4:13 or lower on this roster)
SUU
Utah Tech (this team is D1 and will seriously take 4:40 kids. This was one of the only D1 teams that reached out to me by the end of highschool.)
Idaho State
Montana
ASU
If any of these schools didn’t respond it isn’t because your athletes aren’t fast enough. Does your program have a bad recruiting reputation? Did you reach out or did the athletes? Did you demand financial aid or just ask if you could walk on?
Some of these teams take 4:30 kids. Not tryout walk on, recruited.
