Binghamton makes great milers. Van Ingen, Garn, Holt, Schaffer, Mackay
I see Antsey ran 3:39+ for a school record in 2019 so that was recent. They were always competitive on long relays when i was in college.

Figure out where you want to go to school based on the non-running factors (is cost an issue? Admissions standards? Location? Certain majors or programs?) and then contact those coaches expressing interest in their program. You can ask about the program on here, too, to get input from somewhere other than the coach, but you’ll get feedback that’s more relevant to you if you give a list of schools that meet your criteria (or, at least, state what your criteria are) and ask for thoughts on their programs than if you throw it wide open to all mid-majors—as you’ve seen, that can lead to recommendations for everything from Princeton to Miami (Ohio).

I would second Binghamton if you want to run a fast 1500 in college. Not a place I’d recommend for a 5k/10k type (though Mackay has been successful recently in the longer distances). But Coach Acuff has put out sub-4:00 milers at a rate comparable to many Power 5s with a fraction the budget.
Northern Arizona?

A few solid up & coming programs that need to sustain success but promising coaches right now
Miami (Ohio)
Drake
The coach at Miami (Ohio) sucks. He gets the best talent in the MAC and then gets destroyed by EMU and then some other random conference school like Toledo.

800- 1:57 (time trial)
1k- 2:31
1600: 4:18 (2:12, 2:06 splits)
3200: 9:28 (not all out running another tmrw)
Villanova, Providence & Georgetown
I would say Central Michigan U but they cut their men's program. Sad to hear.

This thread is dead now but if anyone still looks at it I ran 9:11 today so 17 second PR
Congrats! The info is still valid. YOU ARE A DISTANCE RUNNER. If running is part of your equation for school, and it looks like a Mid-Major is in your future, embrace and pick a school that will develop you as a 5k/10k type. Just as an FYI, I am a retired D-I coach, who ran for a top program.
In my coaching career, I turned runners just like you into sub 8:45 steeple, sub 13:50, and sub 28:50 runners. My advice to you is to know what tools you have in your tool box. Do you have sub :50 sec 400m speed, are you a sub 1:50 guy, if not, why waste your time flogging yourself trying to be something you aren't.
Could you beat your head against a wall and maybe produce a 3:44-3:45 by your 5th year in college? Probably, but for what? That won't even get you a sniff at the National meet, you might not even make it to the second round of regionals! But if you work, and put in the miles, you have a real shot to make it in the 10k, the 5k would be a crap shoot, your 2:31 shows you just might have the speed endurance...anyway, just my 2 cents.
good luck with binghamton they only have like 10-12. distance guys at a time and you need to be at least sub 4:20 to run with them
