how good is the UNC chapel hill guys team? I ran 10:14 3200m this past spring as a junior off of about 30 miles a week, iv upped my mileage significantly since then in hopes of running a lot faster. How fast will i have to run in XC and indoor to let the coach to not think that i am a joke and to allow me on to his team?
thanks.
The year I was there they had a 4-mile XC time trial on an undulating course for the walk on tryouts. Can't remember what you had to break to get called back, but that's the event you might train for.
On second thought, I think it was 8k (5 miles) in sub-29min. Just keep that mileage up and enjoy your senior year.
seriously, only gays go there

i don't see why; they've usually got the best-looking girls' team in the country. if there's any interaction between the boys' and girls' teams, that alone seem to be a good reason for a straight guy to want to go there.
why not ask the coaches directly?

there is also a questionnaire

This is a great point. It seems like too many young runners either don't seem willing to do this, or don't know that they can.
It's tough to be the college coach, who's entire life becomes emails, though...

Hahahaha, that is great.
Pick the top public school in the nation, add the hottest girls around and then claim only gays go there.
Nice.
Where do you go? NC State? Have fun at your sausage fest.
Seriously. I went to UNC-Charlotte, which was a decent school and I was happy with my experience there, but I kinda wish I had at least applied to Chapel Hill. Easily the best public university in the country. Also the town itself (including carborro) is just an amazing college town with a really cool music/arts scene.
Pick the top public school in the nation
Do you say this when people from UC Berkley are in the room?
Ok, you're right, UNC is only one of the top 5 public schools in the country year in, year out...
and the best value

Top public school? In what? I'm pretty sure I've gone to two public schools that are a little more renowned than UNC. In fact I turned down a fully funded offer to do my phd at UNC.
And also, NC State >>> UNC ;)

Which ones? I doubt it.
State is for rednecks who cannot get into UNC or Duke.
I bet you are pissed you turned down UNC, which is an absolutely amazing school.
it's been the top value for several years now..
thus "the top public school" is a very accurate description
sorry you couldn't get in
If you are going by rankings, then UNC usually takes the cake over any other public school in the country. Of course, rankings aren't everything. You could certainly make a strong case for other publics universities like UC-Berkley, UCLA, U of Chicago, etc, etc. But at the same time, you could definetly make a strong case for UNC being number one.
I hate UNC for many reasons, but I will have to admit that I have never been to a campus that was so beautiful, fun, and just overall college-like.
It is the epitome of a college town.
Great looking women, sports, stores, bars, restaurants, history.
It is the real deal.
I would give it number one.
news flash, I dont go to UVA but it is def a better school than UNC tarholes, plus probably many others.
Everybody take a step back.
Since when did Playboy and US News and World decide to collaborate and use girls and pubs as criteria for the top public schools?
University of Chicago is not public.
NC State has never been ">>> UNC", which was the #1 public school in 1795, but is not the top public school now. In fact, why did kartelite randomly start describing how accomplished he is?
And now to get back to running... I believe a lot of their bottom-end runners are low 4:20's milers/around top 10-15 in state xc types.

Okay, William & Mary and Virginia. I also turned down a fellowship at Duke after having gone to State--I bet that really makes your blood boil. By the way, my roommate from last year also turned down a funded offer for UNC phd program in favor of another state school.
Don't even get me started about how UNC compares to Berkeley and the like. I mean it is a good school but is not "THE TOP" public school in anyone's eyes but some of its own students/alums/groupies.
