You look at GVSU yet?
I doubt the kid wants to run for a coach who verbally threatens and intimidates his athletes who have stress fractures and don’t want to run through them. Just a thought.

Are there D1 coaches that don't do this?
The 1500, 5k, and 10k at NCAAs had 4 of the 6 winners not from the US. You have to add in that there are many foreigners dominating the distance events in the NCAA.
Pull up any average Power 5 team in TFFRS and you will see a few guys in the 3:45-3:50 range and a few guys in the 14:00-14:30 range and a steepler at 8:55. So yes they have 2.5 scholarships in distance but they will have 7 guys faster than an incoming 4:13 guy. If 5 guys place at conference and 2 go onto NCAA regionals, there are your scholarships. In a few years when the 4:13 high schooler proves that he can run 3:45 and place at conference, he will get his 33% scholarship and when he goes to regionals he will get 50% and when he goes to nationals and runs 3:40, he will get his full ride. But in the mean time, a 4:13 only gets books at most Power 5 schools.

This is the best summation of the current state of men’s track scholarships. Don’t expect any money kids. Use your skills to get in a great school and work like hell to prove yourself once you get there.

I really don't get the issue with Ryan. Love his videos but he never broke 4:20 in the 1600 in HS and went 9:29 in the 3200. How did he even get on the A&M team let alone walk away from what was clearly a gift by the coaching staff?
Hello alex! Otsego's cross course is crazy fast

OP said 9:12. This guy runs 9:07. Might not be the same person.

Not true, definitely sub 4:20. 4:15 or 4:16 I believe. Not a world beater, but not a bad hs runner by any stretch

Haha for real. These guys are trying to shoot down a 16-17 year old kid who's run 4:13, which is super legit
Ryan had his pr at the schrader 1600 which was really a mile last year. Not sure what he ran at the texas state meet the following week.
Would get not even get you $15 bucks or atleast 4:09 is what my friend ran for it...sad.

This is very well said. Plenty of 4:13 guys turn into solid performers, anywhere from small conference scorers to national contenders. But for every success story, there are 3 or more guys who get injured/burned out/don’t improve. So my advice is to go to a school that fits you the best outside of running and do your best to work your way into some scholarship. I was a little slower than you entering college (and was on books only) but was on significant scholarship after two years of improvement. Schools reward success at the college level, you just have to prove it to them.

Thank you! It is really great to know where I stand now and what I would have to do in the future to get some kind of support in college.
