Am I good enough to receive a division one scholarship? My junior season is almost over and as of now I have personal records of 1:52 for 800, broke 4:20 for 1600, and have broken 50 for the 400 (broken 49 in a split). I am a male and have a lot of room to improve as I do not weigh much and have not been training anywhere near how much I can. Please let me know. Thanks!
Yes.
The standards in that link are so off....
You could walk on anywhere except maybe a handful of schools (assuming you don't improve), and could get some money at a lot of schools.
Yes you are good enough.
I just finished up my sophomore season with a 4:25 1600 and a 2:02 800, am I good enough to go division 1?

which ones? The "top tier" times seem reasonable in my experience. I was a walk on at a good D1 program (highest team finish of 4th at CC nats while I was there) with a 4:21 1600m pr but a lot of room to improve. The guys who received scholarships of some sort had PRs pretty much in line with those guidelines from the link.
Are supposed to finish high school with the times on that website or do you have to run them early enough so colleges can see them?

Looks pretty reasonable to me as well. Nice find.
0/10 Anyone who runs those times know they are good enough to receive a Division I scholarship.
Why so slow for the 1600? I'd think anyone who can run 1:52 for 800m would be much quicker than 4:20.
Definitely fast enough for D1 though.
