i am going to be a senior in high school this fall, so naturally i'm narrowing down my list of schools to which i want to apply. i am interested in competing in college, but the strength of the team/ the coach will not play a large role at all in my decision to attend a particular school. my times aren't fast enough to earn a lot of money on scholarship, but i'm hoping they are just fast enough to get a little attention, and maybe a coach's recommendation could put me over the top in terms of earning admission to the school. what should i do to contact the coaches at the schools i'm applying to? should i just send an email telling them about my times? any help would be appreciated. thanks
