The schools below are the ones I'm think about applying to. Can anyone tell me anything about the coaches at these schools?
-Tufts
-Carnegie Mellon
-Boston University
-U of Miami
-Lehigh
-UC San Diego
-U of Rochester
-MIT
-Caltech (is it even worth it to run track here?)
The present coach at Caltech came from Purdue, where he was the sprints/hurdles coach. Caltech and MIT are not places where you might expect to have the time to train 2X a day and 100mpw. MIT has done pretty with sprints, and Caltech might be expected to follow suit.
MIT may have the largest number of sports of any NCAA institution. Caltech has a mondo track.
UCSD also emphasizes sprints/hurdles. They put on a very good (and very big--they even get some schools from Jamaica) invitational, but they do not like to give athletic scholarships.
If you are considering Caltech and MIT, you might also include Claremont (particularly Pomona-Pitzer).
Yes, both Pomona-Pitzer and CMC-Harvey Mudd-Scripps have teams and both are ranked DIII, with CMS being higher ranked this year.
If you are considering MIT and CalTech, Mudd is really the only other schools in that class. However, since it only is undergrad-plus a a specialized Masters it is probably better for undergrads than the other two. It only has about 800 students, but the five schools combined have about 5000 and all of the schools are together in a bunch. You can cross-register for courses at the other schools and it makes Mudd a little less intense an atmosphere than the other two.
[I went to the Claremont Grad School, a separate institution than the five undergraduate schools. I ran with (not on) the Pomona College team. Because my adviser's institution I did my thesis work using the computer facilities at Mudd.]
Thanks btw i'm a 400 sprinter
Anybody have any info on the other schools? or any recommendations for a d2/d3 school?
