I am currently a sophomore at a small D3 school I ran XC last year for the team but being an engineering major I decided to focus more on my stidies so I have not run on the team since.I recently have decided I want to switch my major and therefore transfer, since this school is mainly engineering. I rave pr's of 16:10/27:15 5k/8k from the fall of my frosh year. This summer i ran 4:45 1600 and 17:00 5k off minimal training along with a 61 10 milerI was wondering if this would get me any money at either NAIA D2 or a smaller D1. Also what kinda of eligibility would I have left. My gpa is 3.1 in engineering, so I'm a pretty good student. I'm sure I could get back into shape as well as improve alot with a few montsh of training.

re: transfer

You can get money to a lot of NAIA schools with a 18 minute 5k. I don't see any problems with you getting money to an NAIA school. It would be pretty tough to get any money to a D2 or a D1 school.

re: any naia

um i dont think u will get money at a naia school for running an 18 min 5k. most naia schools dont have much money so they try to give it to people who are a little faster

re: any naia

well you are an idiot, an 18 minute 5k at a decent NAIA school would put you at the back of the list of walkons; however, 27:15 and 16:10 may get you some scholarship, where I am it would be about 15-20% scholarship. Im not sure about the eligability though.

re: transfer

Approximately where are you located? What are you wanting to study? I may be able to help.

If those kind of times get you 15-20% what would a 25:20 for 5 miles get you?

If you have a good GPA? A nice package!

Depends on what school. My old NAIA school only gave $500 to the XC team. I believe everone on the team got it, but we only had 7 guys and 7 girls. Guys ranged from 26s to 30+ for 8k.

So 25:20 and a 3.0 GPA, what is that good for?

I am a D1 coach at a smaller mid major school. We had a kid come in with a similar situation. Under NCAA rules we were unable to give him ANY Athletic Aid his first year. However next year since he has improved his times we can give him aid (and we plan to do so). Hope this helps!

re: D1 Coach

Why couldn't you give him any aide?

re: Coachxctrk

a 25:20 with comparable track times + decent GPA would prbly. be 3/4 i would guess, maybe full depends on what kind of other money your getting.

re: probably

I hear what you are saying, but he said a rule prevented him from granting aid. I am curious as to what rule it was.
