Has anyone here ever gone to college and then tried out for the track/xc team and made it? Did the team hold tryouts every year or did you ask for one? What were your main events in college and high school?

I don't think any colleges hold actual tryouts because the coaches can just look up your times.
Just Curious Sir:
I tried out/walked on to a ranked Div. 1 (Pre-season Top 10) program. I showed up and told the head coach I was serious. Some of my best memories were on the track and in the gym. If you are really committed, I say go for it.
It all depends on the coach, what the team needs, the administration, and finally your ability/work ethic. A "flat out no" in one school will be a "scholarship" in another.
