Where should I run in college? (Looking to transfer)

Some of the UW-X D3 schools in Wisconsin are consistently among the best in XC and Track. Not sure why they would not work.

greg?? is this you?

haha.

Lots of great D2 teams out there that would want you and they give out money. Queens university of charlotte is rebuilidng and has tons of money to throw around. Great coaching staff too

Malone University

Thanks for the replies so far and suggestions. Ill look into D2 some. My high school PRs are real. 8k is off by a little. Not a big deal.

I didn't read what you wrote, but you should try to run for Harvard or Stanford (good schools).

Haha no chance

Dude you sound like an absolute pvssy. I am not talking about your decision to stay away from alcohol - as that is a great way to make some improvements. But your wow is me attitude is really annoying. If you stay at your current school, do things your way. Train hard, stay away from the booze, set the example. If your teammates give you shit for it, fvck em. If your teammates make fun of you for being short, fvck em. Use it as motivation to crush them in races. This is college, not a middle school cafeteria. If you decide to transfer, I give you the same advice. Just do your thing, do the workouts, rest, and improve. I came into college with shitty prs (4:35, 10:10) but left as a sub 25 8k guy. I never cared much for drinking and partying, most of the team probably spent to much time getting wasted on weekends. I became good friends with a couple of guys who had a similar mindset to mine - and we've remained friends ever since.

Come to Canada!

Shoot me an email. I am in the area and can get you in contact with a couple knowledgeable people who might be able to give some good advice.

no diversity? man, that's just horrible. That's what we all need more of in college - even more meaningless chatter about diversity & tolerance.

Gag..puke..

University at Buffalo. Todd Witzleben will make you amazing

Check out Washington University, a d3 school, but consistently one of the best teams, I think third in d3, u'd be a top guy

Washington U is a school I looked at that looks great. Basically fits my criteria, Midwest, diversity, strong program. In fact most of the schools ib their UAA conference are ideal. Unfortunately those are all expensive. And plus their tough academically and I think it would be quite hard for me to get in as a transfer.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

brandon?? is this you??

Grand Valley State

Check out La Verne. D3 school on the west coast currently on the rise with it's first national qualifying squad. Southern California is extremely diverse and the area is close to Los Angeles and the beaches.

If you ran 4:26 in high school and sub-26:00 as a freshman, literally ANY D3 program would be happy to have you. At some of the better ones you might have to fight to stay in the top 7, but none of them would turn you away.

-Take a look at the final rankings from 2012.

-Apply to/contact the coaches at all the schools you are interested in.

-AFTER you get in, worry about the money. You won't hear about financial aid until after you have been accepted. If you still can't afford it, don't go.
