You do realize that in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming you aren't just getting out of the heat you are jumping into the ice box. Have you ever dealt with a real winter? The worst of the Texas heat you will be heading home to from the middle of May through the middle of August. As a UNH grad, I hope you go there, but you are going to find that cold as well.

Can't go wrong with the living in the greatest state in this great nation. UNH is cold in the winter but that's what' your looking for so I say go for it. Fall, Spring and Summer can't be beat.

Interested in your opinion about the other UC's: Santa Cruz, UCLA, and Cal. You didn't list them because he could do better or he would need faster times for them?

Colorado is NOT cold by the way, except in higher elevations such as Gunnison. It's a common misconception about the state. New England and Midwest have much worse and more depressing winters

Colorado School of Mines -d2 excellent choice

CU Boulder -Club Team maybe unless you can run sub26:30 for 8k dirt at 5300ft

Colorado College - d3 another excellent choice

Not as good academically but excellent for running

Adams State - d2

New Hampshire is MUCH MUCH COLDER than any of those states except at the higher elevations

The vast majority of D2 Schools are bad academics. Unless you wanna go pro for running/ are not as smart as you say you are, avoid it.

CU School of mines and a few of the UC schools are good d2, but on the whole avoid it.

A middle of road d1 school might get you a scholarship if that's what you're looking for. Or a good academic d3 school.

Don't go to college, it's such a f*ckin waste of time. 4 years you will never get back. Success in life is based on talent, skill, hard work, and risk taking, none of which college will give you. The intellectual environment on college campuses is what turns people into foaming-at-the-mouth liberal shit tards who are afraid to oppose the "consensus" on any issue. You certainly don't need to be part of a college team if you want to continue running . DONT GO TO COLLEGE!

My son is going through the same process as you are. We are making him apply the "Broken Leg Rule" to his college search and I recommend you do the same. If you step on campus the first day and break your leg and never get to run a step for that college, would you still want to be at that school? If yes, then it is a school worth considering. If not, move on...Good luck to you!

Are you kidding? Colorado's climate is mild. It's cold in Gunnison and Alamosa, but even those are high deserts. The Front Range, where most of the other schools are located, are temperate semi-desert. It freezes at night from mid-late Oct to mid-late April, but day time temps are typically in the 30s to 70s. Utah is similar, and probably even a little warmer.

Laramie is a different story, it's only a few miles from the Colorado border but at 7300 or so, it's much colder and windier.

OP, what's your academic interest and what are your career goals at this point?

Idaho?

U of Idaho

Idaho State

Boise State

Montana?

U of Montana

Montana State
