I was looking around at schools as I'm at a JUCO and will be transferring soon and I can't seem to figure out what schools out there would fit me and was wondering if you all knew of any. I mainly looking for a school that's affordable, has a Good XC/Track coach that has a great training philosophy and is an up and coming on the rise type of person who strives for excellence, teammates are also a big part of it as well to have training partners and be competitive as a squad, and also I can't forget my major being either athletic training/exercise science. Also I would be looking more towards divisions like NAIA,D3 and I guess D2 as well, Thanks!

Have you heard of Berea College?

Google it, give the coach there a call and I guarantee you it could be one of the best decisions you could make. Seriously.

Thanks I'll look into it, appreciate it

Look at spring arbor!

If you post your email, I'm sure a couple colleges will reach out and contact you. Just ignore the ones that don't have an ".edu" email.

Berea College or Lindsey Wilson College. Bellarmine University is a good place too.

Brooks1315, post an email. Trust me, you'll get contacted.

1315 have you looked at Shawnee state? It's a very affordable school. Fits your description of what you want.

I agree with Berea College. The school is part of a work/study program and the tuition is completely free for all students. Also, one of the best academic schools around. The team is up and rising with a two sub 26 guys returning with 3 big recruits coming in. 1- 1:57/4:26/16:25 2- 4:30/16:11 3- 14:18/1:49 (Big-time Kenyan coming in)

I ran for Brevard College, a D2 school near Asheville in the mountains of North Carolina. My running experience was unbelievable, with hundreds of trails to train on locally. I also majored in Exercise Science and I was able to easily balance running and academics(one of the professors coached Brevard College to a few JUCO Championships back in the day). While I was there the team was made up of guys with PR's similar to yours. While it is not a cheap education I know they offer excellent financial aid, and as of my last conversation with the current coach they are still recruiting for the upcoming season. It might be something to consider.

Great area. Bunch of schools right there too. UNC Asheville is a small DI and they are in a great area. Decent program. Right up by Billy Graham's house you've got Montreat College. Their distance program is decent. Warren Wilson is there too if you like liberal crap and marijuana. Program sucks though. Brevard is beautiful, crappy program though. Mars Hill is close ish too, and is probably the strongest distance group of the lot.
