    My son graduated last year and 3 of the top seven, including him, are running in college. Two went Div II and one in Div I.

    The slowest of the 3 went Div I for what it's worth.

    #1 ran 4 years Div 3 and continued
    #2 ran one year of Juco
    #3 ran 4 years NAIA/Div 3 and continued

    A guy a few years earlier ran a year in Div 1.
    A guy a couple of years later ran a couple of years in Div 1 and continued on his own.
    A guy ~decade later ran 1 year of Div 1.
    A guy who graduated last year is currently running in Div 1.
    A girl who ran at the HS for two years (and then moved out of state) is currently running in her third year at a Div 1 school.
    A girl who ran at the HS about 15 years before I did did not run in college but picked it up again later in life and had quite a bit of success.

    1. Tried out for BYU but didn't make it
    2. Ran for BC, xc and track
    3. Ran for Hamilton xc and track
    4. no running after college
    5. no running after college
    6. no running after college
    7. tried out for Chattanooga but didn't make it

    I guess thats 29% for those who ran for a college team and 57% of those who kept running in general.

    Funny, only 5 people from my high school have ever gone on to run in college, and 4 of them graduated (myself included) in the 4 years I was there. one guy ran D1, 2 guys went D3, and I went D2. All 4 of us weren't on the team at the same time though. but 4/7= ~57%
