I ran a 9:45 3200 junior year off of running around 35 miles per week. I also live in a state with hot weather and not the best competition. Avg student.. 3.2 gpa. Any D1 or D2 programs that would be a good fit?

Most D2 programs would be happy to have you, especially if you're only on 35 mpw. You should be getting letters from schools that are interested.
As a 10:12 and 4:39 high schooler I got a partial scholarship to a school in conference carolinas(d2) and could have made pretty much all of the d2 teams around here. Granted I only ran a year and was recruited if of “potential” more than anything. You are going to have to reach out but most d2 teams with the exceptions of national class teams would probably be happy to have you, and many would probably offer some form of athletic aid.
Also I would like to add that I live on the Western half of the US so what specific programs on the west coast or mountain region/south would work for me?
You may find a few weak programs willingly to let you walk on but why would you? There are many 9:20 high schoolers who go d3 so you will not have a fulfilling experience in d1 or d2.

This is WRONG. You can go to a bunch of d1 schools and having a fulfilling experience. 75% of my college teammates never broke 4:20 and 9:30 in hs and are doing extremely well and getting part of their school paid for WHILE getting faster. The notion that you need to be 9:10 and 4:12 to run d1 is totally incorrect.
Find a school you want to go to academically and if it’s not a power five join the team. You might pay a couple extra grand a year to start but if you improve a lot(which you will next year and in college) you’ll bring the price down. Plus the opportunities and competition that you get at D3 are nowhere near the ones you get in d1 and even d2.
NAIA is where it’s at ?
Chico State, D2 in California
I'm sure TCU would take you, for XC Especially......
Hey. Getting a scholarship in the college is cool. For getting a scholarship, you have to study hard. We need to get good grades if the teacher asks u write essays - https://paperial.com/ask-us-write-my-essay will help with this. If you get good grades then you will have a scholarship in the college.
***if the teacher asks us write essays***
It would be hard to get on a D1 team in the West with those times. You'd have better chances with a smaller D2 or NAIA school. Go to athletic.net and check out the different divisions and regions you're interested in and see what PR's are listed for the 1500. Google "MileSplit Calculator" to convert your 1600 time. Although it may not be your best event, it gives a rough estimate of the general range. For example, with a 4:30 1600/4:11 1500 you would be slower than the slowest person at Boise State with little chance of even walking on, but in the middle at Central Washington University and might get a response from the online recruiting form. You can also go to a university's xc or track roster and sometimes under the Bio it shows what PRs people had in high school. This is a better way to compare, but it's a lot more searching and clicks.
What do you want to study? Smaller schools may not offer as many programs as larger D1 universities. Good luck and try to improve your SAT/ACT scores if needed as well as your running times.
You could be their number 2 runner in no time.

Surely they have no interest in a runners unvalidated mileage?
Most online recruiting forms ask for coaches contact info, so training is pretty easy to verify.
OP, are you after a scholarship, or do you just want to run at the collegiate level? If you live in WUE state and don't get a scholarship, you can still get a break on out of state tuition.
Thanks for your recommendation. I would like to talk about my experience with writing essays. Once I very urgently needed to write my essay. And I began to look for who would do it for me. But to my surprise, many services ignored my requests. And only these guys - https://wowgrade.com/write-my-essay-for-me agreed to write the essay for me. Then, as it turned out, my close friend also faced the same problem and they helped him too. From that day I began to trust them even more. If someone faced similar problem, I recommend them.
I would also like to share my experience. Just a couple of days ago, I used the service for buying essays https://buyprofessays.com/buy-cheap-essay and didn't regret about that. I saved a lot of money because on this site you can buy a cheap essay. I also saved a lot of time. Instead of writing a boring essay, I spent this time studying robotics. I think that this is much more important nowadays.
I hope these posts get deleted. I don’t want this to turn into a place for a bunch of advertisers to sneak into. The NCSA guy got outed in a different thread. It’s so bad that they post an ad but they mislead people through fake posts first and then drop the solution.
You high school 3200m runners seldom list your 400/800 personal bests.
Most would require you to graduate first.
