Yes, running fast will help you get in at most schools. Some more than others. You'll have to find that out on your own. But, if a coach wants you on the team, they will help you with admission.

I was at a camp at Stanford this summer, and as I recall, the coach said something like preferential runners would need about a 4:12 or faster. But thats just my memory speaking. You should email the coaches of the colleges you're looking into and ask.
