Coming into college I had a few places that would let me walk on and run. My senior year I suffered a knee injury that has just fully healed (required surgery). Is it too late to try to run somewhere? Currently a sophomore. The school I'm at now recently changed coaches and I have no knowledge of the current coach.
Ran 1:54 800 49 400 and 15:50 5k 4:31 1600. Usually ran 800s, not too many miles. How should I go about trying to run somewhere? Any advice constructive or otherwise appreciated.
It is not too late. What division school are you at?
Division 1
Your only hang up would be eligibility and weather the team needs more bodies.
Have you been enrolled in at least 12 credits each semester? (Minus summer) the NCAA requires that you have certain % of your degree or progress toward graduation completed each year in order to be eligible. If you failed a class, dropped a class etc... You may be below that.
I'd meet with the coach and see if he/she is willing to give you a tryout, they will also likely pass your name to compliance to check your eligibility status.
Good luck.
I have taken 15 hours every semester and a good gpart. Are my times worth talking to the coach ( since I'm a sophomore and haven't ran in 1.5 years?)
