hi i was thinking of maybe running for university of arkansas after i graduate community college next year and was wondering if it is hard to make the team. this is currently my freshmen year and i was just planning ahead. i really like the program they got there because it is similar to how we train here and because they are definetly one of the top xc and track schools in the nation.any info would be greatly appreciated.
Sure, but i wouldnt expect any scholarship help from them immediately unless you can score points at SEC's and/or NC's.
If you're at least somewhat talented but undertrained, McDonnell will turn you into a beast, rest assured.(most recent example Seth Summerside)
And yes, it is very hard to make the team.
if you are serious and dedicated, drop john a line. there were a few guys along the way when i was under john's tutelage that seemed rubbish, but ended up more than respectable after 3 years in fayetteville.
thanks guys for your help. And anymore info would be greatly apprieciated.
I'll bet you can make the team. Sure, they've got a stable of badasses, but they've been known to take some pretty scrubby people to meets. Regardless of whether your a badass or a gimp, I bet they'll at least give you a shot.
a shot you will get, but only one. Dont screw it up. My advice, is to not drink and not go out partying, and make sure you show up to morning practice every f'ing day.
Might want to take an English class somewhere along the way.
