Times to hit for college

Just call the coaches and they will tell you exactly what they want to see to be scholarship material.

But as a guess, for top DI programs, sub 4:04 for 1600, or equivalent times for 800/3200.

They will also want to see consistency and a steady progression, ideally. If you have one outlier among a number of slow times, they are unlikely to offer you a scholarship.

You may think "but that means only a few high school distance runners each year qualify for a scholarship to top DI programs!" If you think that, you would be correct. There are very few scholarships to go around. That is why you see some very good runners go to mid major DI programs or even NAIA or DII programs, because they can get money at those schools with "lesser" times, while top DI programs may not give them any money.

Others choose to go to top programs anyway and try to earn a scholarship their Sophomore or Junior year when they are more proven.

Anything you can get in writing would be a good idea. If a coach says that if you run XXX your Freshman year he will give you a scholarship of YYY for your Sophomore year, get that in writing. Oregon just lost a handful of top women this year because they rescinded verbal scholarship offers or reduced existing scholarships. Don't let that happen to you.

What are your times, OP and what do you hope to hit this year?

Coaches at these top schools have got to be sick of all the whiny high school kids who think they're the next undertrained Adam Goucher. If you were fast enough to receive any scholarship $$$$ at a top d1 school, you'd know about what times they were looking for. I'm sure your summer of playing pokemon go and running 60 mpw will pay off big this fall...
