This thread is irrelevant unless you specify your Junior year of HS times. I suspect some of these PRs are Senior year. By then, the gig is up.

This is from the late 70's, back when track scholarships were available for men:
D1 (Power 5)
GPA (3.8?) SAT - 1400 (good back then)
Mile - 4:08
2 Mile - 9:02
80% athletic - turned down full rides (Big 10) for a variety of reasons
Offspring of out of work single mother with substance abuse problems. She, however, was a dream compared to my father, who thankfully abandoned the family.
Would not do the athletic scholarship thing again - I was a good student and would have tried to find a way to attend apart from athletics. Ended up being more successful in academics than athletics, although I did reasonably well in college.
re: i am old, you must have been top 10 in US with a 4:08 in the late 1970s.
D3 (top 20 academic)
GPA 3.5/ 27 ACT
Mile - 5:20 (solo time trial); went on to run sub 4:30, low-mid 15s for 5K
10% academic/need
I don't know if these answers are surprising you, but they are not surprising me. In every sports except football and basketball, there is virtually no money for male athletes. Fastest guy on our small high school team had some 'maybe' money dangled for a D2 school, but in the end got nothing and went D3 with partial academic scholarships. Don't know any others runners who had money offered at all. Another friend was good enough to be drafted in a late round in baseball, and he had college offers that were a tiny fraction of a scholarship. He ended up going to the U.S. Naval Academy, so it was irrelevant, but still.

24:41 for 8k (XC)
30:57 for 10k
100% scholarship with athletic, academic, and various other ones. Just a bit over half is paid for with athletic. I got a bigger academic than I deserved because of my high SAT scores.
D1
3.51 GPA
1:50(800m), 4:10(1600m)
About 50% with academic+athletic
might even be older - yes, I was highly ranked in high school.
The whole thing was a miserable experience. More or less ran to get away from an awful domestic situation, and I left at age 18, never took a dime from anyone (but a few loans), and somehow escaped.
Elite D1 a few years back
HS GPA - 3.4

Ended up getting down to 3:47 in the 1500. Finished college on 65%.
Mine are from a long time ago!

SAT probably 1100-1200 ish on the old 1400 scale
75% of total which would probably be 45K+ in 2017 $. A lot of merit $ in my major not athletic related
The gig is not necessarily up your senior year, maybe D1, but not D2, and D3. I have children in colleges, D2 and D3, who posted marks mid season and they made a difference on acceptance, scholarships, etc.
Here I am, a D1 mid-major head coach, reading through this just incredibly annoyed at the responses. It's February and I've got 2 FULLS available and not a single sub 4:20/9:20 will take 'em.
All about the brand and bragging to their friends. Good luck with those student loans.
