I know there have been multiple threads for this but what times are usually reasonable or in your experience for a partial D1 or D2 (male).
5k/3200m/1600m?
Any helps appreciated.

my S runs D1 and rcvd a partial scholarship with the following times:
these times were his Junior times
800 - 1:58
1,600 - 4:26
3,200 - 9:29
5,000 - 16:35
but more importantly it enabled him to get into a school that he would not have otherwise grade wise.
His SAT's were 1,520, avg SAT's of the entering freshman class are 1,850
it 'appears" he will be pulling a 3.0 in his 1st semester
depends. these are the minimum that you'd probably need for a scholarship. There are other things to factor in. For instance, if you only ran 15:45 in XC but were state champion, or it was a distinctly hard course, then the coach may give you some leeway. Or if you ran 4:16 but on 40mpw you could still get a top tier partial scholarship.

Lol dis es muy mal... Jajajaa jajajaa
None of those times are nearly fast enough to run D1 except the 3200, which is still a pretty bad stretch. It depends how good the D1 school's cross country/track program is. If they're good, it will be harder to get in. Likewise, if they're primarily scrubs, you could lay down a couple sub 16 5Ks and get a partial. For an NCAA national qualifying team, I'd say the following PRs would be necessary for a partial:
5000- sub 15:30
3200- sub 9:20
1600- sub 4:15
800- ~1:55
Depending on what you're talented in, you should shift your focus to one event. If you're an aerobic machine, do some high mileage and drop some time in the 5K. Likewise, if you've got speed, focus on the mile/800. don't ruin one by hammering away on the other. Good luck.
