Where should I look for running given my talents?

Pick one. Grant Fisher learned the hard way what happens when you try to overextend yourself. He corrected it before it overwhelmed him. You should correct it before it ever becomes an issue.

Join the military, alternatively one of the Syrian rebel groups. Your running skills will be of good use there.

You're a freshman. Don't worry about college yet.

You're a Freshman, do worry! Actually it sounds like you're doing things right anyways.

Those are good times for a Freshman. If all goes well I would pick Stanford. An excellent school for both athletics and academics.

I saw his interview. I’m 100% prioritizing academics no matter what.

Any other schools if Stanford doesn’t work out for selectivity or financial reasons?

Where did the graduating seniors from your high school go this year? I bet that information is still available. See what schools the top 10 or so students went to. That will give you some ideas. What are the peers of those schools? That will give you more ideas. Other places to think about: the flagship campus of your state university, and the same in neighboring states.

Since you just finished 9th grade, no one can predict your actual academic interests or ultimate college major, which might change three times. That's OK. Try lots of things and find out what you're most interested in.

There is prioritizing academics and then there is doing stupid things like staying up all night to study. If you don't get the right amount of sleep you are being sub optimal for both running and academics.

For undergraduate go to the cheapest reputable school you can go to (this includes the major state colleges). Your 3200 time is nothing to get overly excited about yet. Save your money for grad school. If you are truly intelligent, it will show then.

Go to the hood. Do real sh!t. Work corners. Learn more sh!t in jail than yale.

Hopefully you'll be getting an academic scholarship to pay the most of it.
