I'm currently a sophomore at a VA high school. What are the standards for the instate schools? Mostly talking about University of Virginia, George Mason, Virginia Tech and William and Mary. Hoping to run 9:49 this year for 3200.

Based on purely 2 miles times:
sub 9:20 will let you walk on to any of those teams for sure. For George Mason and maybe William and Mary I'd bet you could get in with sub 9:30 if the coach likes you. If you're looking for scholarship money, you're gonna need to get down to sub 9:10.
If you have range or can run a sub 1:55 800 then the coaches would be a little more lax on the 2 mile time.
Pull up College signings on the HS Mile Split. You can see who is going where and best times.
Some years 9:20 won’t get you into Virginia.
Way back in the day I ran 2:02 in 12th grade and walked on to George Mason.
My junior year there they had a few walk ons that were running 27/28 min for 8K in XC.
I eventually got some scholarship money running 1:49 and they were one of the best track programs in the country at the time.
I keep hearing about tough standard but you seem to be good enough for your age to think about running in college.
I really loved reading your blog.It was useful in my writing for book-review more u can see here Million.Essay
It was very well authored and easy to understand. Unlike other blogs I have read which are really not that good. Thanks a lot!
I would recommend Christopher Newport if you want to stay instate. They are a public D3 school in Newport News. CNU competes in the South/Southeast Region which historically is not deep. Recently, they had a coaching change. Danny Feldman was hired to take over as head cross country coach and assistant track & field coach. Feldman has been an assistant at Amherst and Northern Arizona.
Who does George Mason has that has run 9:10 from VA?
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
