Thanks all for the advice. Im looking into it, and d2 doesnt seem like a bad option. Maybe il give track a shot and go for a 9:30 3200 (i think i can do it). or maybe il start running milage this winter for track since ive never done more than 35 or 40 per week lol.
i do think a 9:30 is possible if i actually train
I hate to ask this question, but why do you want to run in college if you dont even want to trail properly in HS?
If you dont really care and just want to shouw up and race but then start thread about why your times stink maybe college running is not for you.
Did you end up walking on? I am so curious.

I have done well actually. I still have 4.0 GPA. Time wise 800m 1:47, 1500m 3:38, Mile 3:57, 3000m 7:49, 5000m 13:28, 10,000m 27:58, also dabled in the Steeple running 8:36. I also now hate cross country after finishing a lousy too 40 at NCAA XC.

Heres the deal-io: (current junior)
i love xc. i cant get enough of the season. Favorite time of year. I train hard over the summer, work hard during the season, and am running around 16:30 (freshman/sophomore times ~17:00). But im garbage at track. I didnt even letter my freshman or sophomore year. Im running 4:50 mile, and 2:10 800, and 10:30 3200. And i doubt it will be getting any better this year.
im fairly smart, have an unweighted 4.0, etc. Do you think that it would be possible to walk on to a d1 school with a 16:30 5k? or do i need to train for track? i just hate track and would rather not train for it, and only for xc.
Sorry, but no, you are not D1 material. Not even close. Your 3200 time could be a minute faster and you'd still not be D1 material.
NAIA or D3, or a very horrible D2 program, but really, NAIA or D3 is your wheelhouse.
