I am a Junior in high school looking to run in college and I am looking for the approximate standards someone poster of what it would take to run at a D1, D2 and D3 school. Yes I did search for the thread and I couldn't find it. Could you please help me out? Thanks!
Depends on a multiple of factors.
I'm sure if you're just looking to walk on, some smaller DI schools would be around 945 for two mile or 435 for mile. I'm not familiar with DII or DIII but I'm sure someone could answer that for you. You should really let us know what your times are so we could better help you.
Heart Pounding Dedication
id say something like
d1: 920, 420
d2: 940, 435
d3:whatever
4:35 mile and 16:50 5k xc course.
If the 4:35 is from sophomore year then thats very good. The 16:50 isn't much to go on since XC depends on a lot of variables. A better point would be what state you run in and how you finished at the state meet (if you made it). You dont have to disclose that though, the 4:35 is good enough indication that you could possibly make it down to the 4:15's or so and make a DI program if thats what you were looking at. Depends how hard you work and how smart your coach is.

Those times for D1 and D2 are definitely for the really top tier.

Ummm. Nope. 920 is for the really top tier? No, sub 9:00 is for the really top tier. 9:10 is for the top tier. 920 is good enough that you can probably walk-on to most college teams and hope to work your way into the top 7 within a few years. Or it is good enough to get signifigant money at a smaller D1 school.
