Top Distance programs in OHIO?

I qualified for nationals on the track in D1 and won a couple conference championships as well after running a 4:31 1600 in high school... an underdeveloped 9:30 guy can do wonders at the d1 level in the right situation.

One of the worst posts of all time.

If you are looking for a school where you are most likely to reaching your potential in running, look at Shawnee State. They have one of the best programs in Ohio and most of their runners from from southeast Ohio (historically very weak region).

Not even close to the worst posts of alltime however there are plenty of opportunies for 9:20 guys as walkons for DI programs. They can train with the team, get racing opportunities and if they have what it takes earn a varsity spot. At the Big 10 and MAC levels there are a handful every year that place high at the conference level with those types of credentials. They are a little exceptional. A 9:30 runner would be a pretty easy bet to win several All-American and conference titles in D3 but very likely will never qualify for nationals as an individual in D1. Yet succesful D1 program (of which in Ohio there is really one one you could consider national class-Ohio State)has their stories of the 9:30 or 9:20 walk-on that stuck it out and broke through to be one of the top runners on the cross team.

Want to talk about something dumb is that you said that OSU is better than Case Western. You clearly didn't have the grades to get into any school that has a outstanding education such as Case. The amount of debt that comes from from these schools is not much at all. You do not any facts. More people come out of debt from OSU than they do from Duke.

They are ranked ahead of OSU.

OSU is ranked one of the lowest in the Big 10.

My degree from a "Shitty Elite D3 School" has me making 6 figures out of college. I work at an Accounting Firm..fyi

How much are you making less than 40 grand because you work at some running shop.

I laugh at people like you on Letsrun who put down other schools but in reality you were a nobody in the real world and the runners world.

You didn't provide any information backing up that big mouth of yours. Schools do not provide job placement rates. The Chances of getting jobs out of college just as an undergrad is very difficult. Have you even read the Wall Street Journal? They talk about the job placement rates out of college is redic. small even with a elite degree.

Stop with your ego nonsense. You're a coward that probably never amounted to anything in College. Running is all you cared about and clearly you have a problem with any group of runners that are A) Faster than you or B) Get a better education that you.

BTW Princeton gives each student 100% aid that is needed.

I was accepted to Case Western. I didn't apply to OSU because it was too big. I had a 30 on my ACT. I ran for a small DI school and was all conference several times and graduated with very little debt. Wow 12 spots? I still think the quality of education is better at OSU. OSU is a lower ranked Big 10 school, but it's still better than Case. US News Reports are flawed systematically biased. I disagree with you on those grounds.

I am 2L right now clerking for a Federal Judge... not working at a running store.

Good for you. I'm glad it worked out. I still think you are an ass. You epitomize the attitude of Case Western students and alumni.

Well this shows your maturity. A graduated college student still thinking he's in high school.

You and the rest of the people can't predict how many students will find jobs after college.

Whether your from Malone or Ohio State or Kent State or whatever, there is absolutely NO guarantee.

Just a tad bit of info. But I'm sure someone will disagree.

This is probably the most mature way I can say it too.

Also, when people create threads like this and come on and absolutly bash other schools it really shows what kind of person you are. In ten years NO ONE cares how fast you ran.

How many people right now care about what McDougal ran. Matt Withrow how bout him. Running is not everything. But you sir need to grow up. Thanks.

Sorry pal, but OSU is a better school than those school.

You obviously went to OSU. F***ing retard.

Back up your big mouth give me facts about job placements. Cmon I DARE YOU!

30 on the ACT and you go to a small D1 school? Really? no REALLY?

I didn't go to a OSU. State schools, especially smaller ones offer great financial aid packages that make them more affordable. If you are planning on getting a liberal arts degree to lead to a professional degree (ie J.D. or phd) it's not a bad option. If you want an engineering, accounting, or pharmacy degree a more specialized school would be appropriate. Generally, those are not state schools, but there are some exceptions. That does not mean that private schools are blatantly better than state schools.

No, I'm not dumb enough to tell you were I work or go to school.

my advice? dont run in college. college is meant for getting an education, and it is VERY expensive. wasting your time running (sorry but nobody will care/know your name unless you run sub 4) is just stupid. college is a place to learn to be an adult, so leave the sports for high school.
