What else would a college coach want to know about an potential CC/track runner other then their times, awards, and gpa?

Bra size.
injury history, personality (leader, complainer)
most mileage they have done in a week while in high school. from personal experience we had some guys on the team that quit because they wanted to do like 20 miles a week when some said they did 60mpw before.

Lots of things. Why you want to run in college. Why you're interested in their college. Test scores. How many years you've run. Goals. Mileage. Injury history. Other interests outside of running. Lots of intangibles that can be picked up on a recruiting visit, like "fit" for a team and a college. Knowing where times were run also helps - some kids get to run at great meets on great courses, others labor at altitude with wind and cold with lousy competition.
