My brother just ran a certified 10K in 34:52 as a Junior. Is he a D3 or D1 prospect. Great grades.
My Dad is thinking D3 as he doesn't shine in the NY meets, but the competition in the Albany area is fierce.

while it is impressive concetering the fact that most high scholl kids dont try to run a 10k its probably the deciding factor. if he cant break 5:40 id say he dosnt have a chance.

Sorry, but not D1. Maybe a couple minutes faster for that.
it just depends on what d1 school he is looking at.... he can go to a shitload of d1 schools... no wisco or CU but he could go to an unranked team easily.
He can run D1, especially if he doesn't do a lot of miles now. Coaches would like someone that can run that time without a lot of training. Look at midmajor d1 programs. Since he has good grades check out Ivy league, Patriot league, and similar schools (Davidson). Most of the time the coaches struggle to get runners that are academically qualified to be accepted to these schools.
If he trains well and brings that 10k below 33:00, he'd be accepted at most D-1 schools, and even some ranked ones if they feel he'll improve a good bit.
Try D-2 as well, many top D-2 programs are more accepting and forgiving, and they often have great coaching.
Runs ~40 miles per week.
