WHAT LEVEL OF COLLEGE CAN MY ATHLETES GO TO?

And you do? What experience do you have?

Put it this way. If I know just ONE thing, I know more than you.

Your kids aren't very good. Certainly not good enough to base their college choices on their athletic potential.

For 99.9% of kids their aptitude and academic interests should determine the direction of their college choices. Your job should be to make running fun. Nothing more.

Come on, what’s the point of posting exact numbers if it’s easy to verify no school exists with these school records (Washington or otherwise).

Clearly a troll, was trolling with the NXR Illinois post and is doing it again here. Do you really expect us to believe you don’t know who malmo is? And that you: have been coaching for 15 years, yet know nothing about collegiate running; have a fetish for Illinois running, but coach in Washington; and most importantly, are 40+ years old but write and act like a 16yo.

Predicting which level of college an athlete could go to is not an exact science, as improvement, performance, and collegiate recruitment can vary greatly. It's important to note that coaches consider a range of factors beyond just race times when evaluating potential recruits, including work ethic, versatility, teamwork, and dedication. However, based on the information you've provided and considering potential improvements, here's a general breakdown of where each runner might fall:
Runner 1 - Sophomore:
With some development and improvement, Runner 1 could potentially fall within the range of Power 5 schools or lower-level Division I schools (non-Power 5). Continued progress and focusing on building race experience would be key for this athlete.
Runner 2 - Junior:
Runner 2 has solid times, particularly in the 800m and 1600m. Given potential improvements and consistent performances, they might have a shot at National Champion Contender Schools or Power 5 programs. However, the final decision would depend on the competitiveness of their times within the recruiting pool.
Runner 3 - Junior:
Runner 3 has a strong 800m time and a solid 1600m time. They could be a good fit for Power 5 or lower-level Division I schools. Improvement and continued consistency will be crucial in attracting college interest.
Runner 4 - Junior:
Runner 4's times show potential, particularly in the 3200m. With further development and improvement, they might be a candidate for lower-level Division I schools or Division II programs.
Runner 5 - Freshman:
Runner 5 already has impressive times for a freshman. With continued improvement and consistent performances, they could potentially aim for Power 5 schools or lower-level Division I programs in the future.
Remember that these are general assessments and the recruitment process can be quite nuanced. Runners' performances, training, and dedication over the next year(s) will play a significant role in determining their college options. Coaches often prioritize athletes who show consistent improvement, versatility, and dedication to their sport. It's also recommended that athletes and their coaches actively engage in the college recruiting process, reaching out to programs, attending camps, and building relationships with college coaches.
