I’m a senior in highschool and I’m choosing between going to a school to run at (D2) or going to another school which doesn’t offer a men’s cross country or track team. Can anyone offer some advice or pointers to what college running is like? Is it worth it? Know that I love running more than anything else in this world too.
ever freaking day
D2 schools are terrible. Stay far away. Better to not run amd get a job after college.
I think you'll regret not doing it if you don't run in college based on the fact that you made this post. Many pros and cons to consider.
Specifically, anything can happen. If you get to the D2 school and have a freak accident that leaves you unable to compete for the rest of the time at that college, will you still be happy with the program, location, and cost compared to the other one? If so, I say go for it! If not, I think you need to make some tough decisions. And also remember that just because you don't run on a team in college doesn't mean you can't run and be competitive. It just looks very different.
If you don't have a realistic opportunity to become in 4 years from now a professional runner, you should select a school only weighting the benefits it van give you in terms of cost and education.
Then, if it happens that the best school for these purposes is one in which you can run competitively during college, better for you. If not, there are still plenty of ways of running and racing (during and after college).
dude whats the game here? to see if people will respond every time to the same question every day?
did you set up an AI bot to post this every day or two days?
Just keep running in high school meets for years to come. You should be about the same age as I am by now. Legal for beer in every state.

I came from a family with a lot of money so cost was of no concern and I considered running competitively in college just as important as the academics in terms of selecting a college I could be a walk on at, knowing full well I’d never EVER be close to going pro.
Not everyone is in same situation but running in college is a lot of fun and chances are there’s a place where you can do great academics and run and get the best of both worlds
I was wondering when we'd see this again.
