I'm a sophomore in highschool and it's the beginning of track season. This past meet, I ran 4:31 in the mile and 9:43 in the two mile. Am I on pace for a chance to get a scholarship to a D1 running school by senior year? I also have a very good grades and am heavily preparing to do very well on the state tests coming up.
no
Is this a real question? You can definitely get a scholarship to run at a DI school. How much of a scholarship and how good of a DI school, is the real question you should be asking. I feel like this is a troll though because you have to know that 4:31 and 9:43 as a Sophomore is extremely good. If you are serious though, definitely don't count out DII. There are many good DII programs as well, and they could potentially give you more money depending on the school.
That would be up to you. Sounds like you have a huge amount of talent. So if you train smart and hard you could easily be a national level guy in two years. Steer clear of the party scene that shit will tank your running career amazingly fast and you won't even see it coming. (Also core, do lots of core.)
