I don't really know b/c I wasn't on the cc team, but I think about 2 or 3 might have run some d3.

i went from other sports to d1 running. 4 years, did well.

The times mentioned were high school times. You can check them out on the top high school milers list - and even figure out which team it was. We were in the 70's viewed as one of the better teams of the era. Our number #1 guy ran a 4:10 mile as a soph - made us all believe.

Four of the top five were very serious students - top 1% types - we all went on to professional careers which was not surprising given the nature of the town (although my brother and I were poor, the town was not and sent many on to the Ivy League, etc.).

In retrospect, we were all reasonably talented runners - but for the most part, we were good athletes that could have played other varsity sports - the golden age, so to speak, simply caused us to be interested in running.

#1 Division 1 XC + Track

#2 Division 1 XC + Track

#3 Division 1 XC + Track (quit after a year)

#4 nope

#5 Division 2 Track

#6 nope

#7 nope

#1-Yes John Trautmann Olympian-Georgtown

#2-D1 Iona

#3-Quit after a week

#4-No

#5-Ran D3 for one season X-C

#6-NAIA

#7-D1 then transferred to a great D3 (was only a Fr. this year and became a great HS runner thereafter).

I'll count 4 of 7 for 58%

Senior year:

#1 D1

#2 no

#3 D1

#4 D1

#5 D1

#6 no

#7 D3

#2 wasn't interested, #6 went on to pursue academics at Notre Dame.

My HS CC coach coached from 1975-2003, then turned the job over to his son. He says, since 1975, I am the only male or female to run 4 years in college (D3). Another guy ran a couple years of D3 and was kicked off the team for behavior. 2 guys ran one year of very low level D1 and quit.

Hammond, Indiana...Rudy Chapa, et. all

kinda but really not smart wrote:

#6 went on to pursue academics at Notre Dame.

as if that can't be done along with running.

(just saying.)

1- D3

2- D1

3- Chose not to run

4- D3

5- D1

6- D3

7- Possibly poor D1 school (Not graduated yet)

All of the D3 schools would beat the D1 schools.

So either 5 or 6 of 7 and one who could have run but decided not to. Each had run either sub 9:45 or sub 4:30 by senior year except #7.

1 - D3

2 - Army biathlon team

3 - Nope

4 - D3 long jumper

5 - D3

6 - D3

7 - Nope
