No I never called or followed up. At the age of 17, I didn't yet understand the importance of persistence. Also, at the time of my letter, I wasn't really a very good runner. It wasn't until a few years later that I was actually worthy of running on any D1 team.

I hear you. Well, we would have liked to have had you, but it sounds like you did very well.
slightly derailing the thread, what kind of times would it take to walk on to the track team at Duke?

B-shit. They'd be damn lucky if they could get that for a scholarship athlete.
If you said you were visiting UNC, eveyone would ask which one. UNCG? UNCA? UNCC? UNCP? (I wouldn't wish anyone visit Pembroke, but that's just an opinion). OP was correct in calling it Chapel Hill.

No point in going there now since an athlete's degree is worth about nothing
This is why LRC has no credibility.

Remember hes WALKING ON.
just about anyone who's originally from north carolina calls it chapel hill.
that must be new because it's always been known as 'Carolina' throughout the state. The only time that you need to go further than that is when you get near Charlotte and Chapel Hill designates the blue Carolina.
i'm from charlotte, so maybe that's why. i've always used "chapel hill" and "carolina" interchangeably. people who refer to south carolina as carolina need to get out more.
Or feel free to swing over to Queens and we can talk scholarship dollars. You'll get to go to the same meets, enjoy the same weather, train on an Alter-G if you get banged up and have a shot at getting to a national meet.
Having grown up in Chapel Hill, earned a degree from UNC and joined the faculty at Carolina, I agree that the OP can confidently refer to the nation's first public university as "Chapel Hill." Furthermore, I agree with Old Weller that you should contact the new coaching staff.
