I am a high school triple and long jumper and I will probably be attending NYU but I am unable to find their walk on standards and their coaches weren’t responding so I was wondering if anyone here might know

Its holiday now and coaches are probably on vacation. Try again mid January - if they don't respond then take it as a red flag if you want to compete for NYU.
problem is I’ve been emailing for months now. I jump 41 feet 4 inches and 19 feet 6 inches so I’m not bad but I’d really just like a response from them.
I don't think you'll have a problem. Not exactly a big time school for T&F. They'll probably take anyone who ran or jumped in HS.
Go to City College, which is also D3, instead. Their head coach was an OT qualifier in the TJ and has coached a load of good LJ/TJers.
Plus you'll probably save about fifty thousand dollars, so there's that.
To be clear, you'd probably save ~$50k per year.
They just hired a new head track coach a couple weeks ago. Try again after break
NYU is D3. My understanding is that this means they aren't allowed to turn away athletes.
Of course they are. Don't be silly.
Most colleges, regardless of division, have limited funds for a given sport. In addition, some coaches are required (or "encouraged") to have more female athletes on the team than males, to comply with their schools' interpretation of Title IX.
The combination means that many colleges have a limit on how many people can be members of their cross country/track & field programs.
Your understanding is wrong.
Is his name Tyler deck Shipley because I’ve emailed him many times and he doesn’t respond I don’t really understand why I’m not asking to be recruited or anything just to know their walk on standard
I emailed their coach and wasn’t really at their time standards but he was responsive and very friendly, he’s the cross/distance guy though
May I ask how you sent it because I can never get a response.
Also just for reference their best jumper last year jumped like 43 feet and they recruited a guy who jumped 41 feet.
They don't owe you a response and they don't want you. You're going to need to go somewhere else if you're going to compete in track in college. Either they have someone better coming in or they just don't need another vaulter right now, so their way of letting you know is to not reply.
Would they not just reply and say sorry you’re not up to the standard
May I ask what email you used.
It’s good practice but a lot of coaches don’t.
Have you tried different email addresses? Have you tried hitting up the multi/jumps coach?
I was ignored by teams I could have immediately scored for, and some D2, D3 and NAIA teams where I’d be an immediate #1. Coaches tend to give you the most positive attention during recruiting, if you have to fight for attention before you’re even on the team, you’re not gonna have a fun time there.
If it’s something you have the talent and passion for, and really want to do in college, go to a juco for a year or two. Most Jucos will take anyone who shows that they are willing to work hard and somewhat hang with the team, and it gives you better cred to make a bigger roster.
Do schools in the same conference typically have similar walk on standards
I've never encouraged my athletes to walk-on. You would never work a part-time job for free. The time commitment is not worth doing it for free.
