best D3 teams at good schools

If you want to major in business in undergrad, then a prestigious school is not the right fit for you. Stick to trusted heartland institutions such as Notre Dame

Willamette- Ask Nick Symmonds.

Here's a good link to see where 2010 recruits went (it's too early to see 2011 signings, for the most part). You can get an idea of where you fit in. I suggest Tufts!!

Check out the MIAC conference schools. They have a few prestigious schools and other solid schools. I'm pretty sure any school would want a 920/420 guy.

Augustana, UW Oshkosh, UW lacrosse have 100 times better programs, and they WILL get you a job

so you see what this thread has become, right? sober kids passing the last days of summer on letsrun propping up their own school before the november dreams whither.

north central and haverford are the two best running programs. if you want an accounting major perhaps liberal arts isnt for you. visit many places and see what is fun

Joe Mama: really? Wabash has beat them all at XC Nationals the last 2 years with the exception of Osh Kosh last year. And they lost their #2 & #5 during the season or they would have easily beaten them...FACT. Look it up.

"Harvard of the Midwest"? Really? I've never heard of Wabash. I don't even know what state it's in. Good grief, Wabash wouldn't even be in the top 3 schools in Minnesota, much less the best in the entire midwest.

Swarthmore's great academically and their track/xc team is def on the rise.

That just goes to show you what type of 'tradition' you have.... When you can only talk about the last two years...

Great school if you like the sausage

Do NOT go to WashU. Many complaints about the program under the surface.

Ha! Many complaints, which from my experience were "I skipped practice all the time and the coach kicked me off the team" or "Coach wouldn't let me skip a meet to attend my fraternity formal".

NESCAC. Williams is the #1 rated school in the world. Tufts is very good. Conn College has a lot of talent and very good academics. 920 is nothing special though if you're looking for money and admission from one of these schools. You need a 3.7 and 1320 to go along with it.

For the NESCAC, I would rank the schools/distance programs/coach as follows:

Williams

Middlebury

Amherst

Bates

Bowdoin

Tufts

Conn College

Wesleyan

Hamilton

Trinity

Colby

I think Amherst has the best coach

Williams has the best program

Williams/Amherst the best school

All are very great schools

Note: I do not go to either Williams or Amherst, I hate that bear...

Isn't the coach a jesus freak/god squader type?Fvck that. Bring back Charlie.

Minnesota? Look up the facts! Princeton Review and US News and World Report don't lie.

Granted Wabash isn't North Central, but they have finished in the top 20 eleven times since 1973 when the NCAA went into divisions. In 94 and 95 the finished 4th and 3rd.

When it was only University and College divisions Wabash placed very high, at least 4 top 10 finishes in the 60s.

Why would some one care what wabash college did more than 4 decades ago? What's their record in the last 10 years! And what's the coaching situation like?

Their coach is in his 6th year. They finished 13th in '10 and 16th in '11 with each team having an All-American.

He also coached 2 guys to national titles in the Mile indoor and 800 outdoor.

So it sounds like the team is built around two guys... Probably a gamble, I would wait 4 years for some consistency
