Hi, everyone! I am interested in UVA, Vanderbilt, and Rice and was wondering what times would be needed to run at these three universities for a female, distance runner? Not a walk on, but not necessarily a top recruit either. Thanks!

If you are not a school's top recruit, you are a walk on. Sorry I'm not trying to be snarky but that is how things work. You might be a recruited walk on but you would still be a walk on.
Hey. In order of ranking, I would say UVA followed closely by Vanderbilt and then Rice in order of difficulty to get recruited. UVA and Vandy take sub 5:00 (~4:55) 1600m and sub 10:40-45 3200m together and not sure. Rice is slower but not much. Rice would probably add on 5-10sec to 1600 and 10-15 for 3200. Cross country varies obviously but probably need PRs for any of the 3 in lower 18s (or slower if you are better at track) on an average to harder course. What are your PRs and grade? Junior?
Thanks. I appreciate the feedback! :)
Thanks so much! I'm thinking I'll run D3 when I get to college, unless I improve drastically. I appreciate the feedback. :)
If you are thinking about UVA academically I wouldn't count it out just because you can't walk on. The club team is excellent and has a number of good female runners (some of which were dropped from the varsity team.) Running in charlottesville is great as well.
