What schools place an emphasis on the middle distances(800-1500m)? Schools like Florida State for example, that build endurance through long repeats and tempo runs instead of traditional long mileage.

University of Michigan has of course always been a middle distance powerhouse, and their self-named workout "the Michigan" is a good middle distance endurance builder.
On the men's side, Columbia has a solid 800m program. Obviously not the mid-D powerhouse that Michigan is, but pretty good considering the handicap of no scholarships.
Cal, especially the women.
I hate all the Michigan talk. There best miler by far is their 5k/10k guy Williams. Guess what, Brannen, Willis, and Ellerton are gone. Anybody wonder why Woods said to heck with this. Ron can only coach the insanely talented anymore.
Look at the Badgers inside the Big 10 to be ahead and even O-State when you look at recruiting class and professionals in Columbus.
Cal, 800 only.
Texas (status of program up in the air), UNI (status of program up in the air), LSU (all Kenyans basically), Columbia (no scholarships / hard as hell to get into).
fresno state
Cal women? you're joking right? OK, I get it.
I'd say UNI has one of the premier 800m programs in the nation, last year they had 6 guys at 1:50 or better.
UNI had 2 regional qualifiers in the 800m last year. Oregon, Cal, UCLA, USC, Florida and Texas had 2 as well. Arkansas, LSU, UTEP, Stanford had 3. Get this, Columbia had 4!
and how did those four columbia athletes do at the regional meet?

How many national champions did Columbia have?
I wasn't implying that COlumbia's program was better than the ones listed was just responding to the 6 UNI guys under 1:50 statement. I was surprised to see that 4 guys from an Ivy school made it. Hell, LSU's three guys were among the top 13 in the US. Oregon has an Olympian. Texas beat Columbia in the 4 x 800m. Was just pointing out that they had four guys. They are obviously pretty good - can you give them a pretty good at least.
Some of the best choices would include Guelph, Victoria, or Calgary.
University of Washington, especially on the women's side. 3 girls made the indoor mile final and including babcock they had 4 in the olympic trials. I think the guys have had either abbott or brown score at nats in the 800 for the past 3 years

They've got a real solid program.
