So, my daughter has been talking to a lot of college coaches this year and I am little to no help. She has so many questions that I just do not know the answer to. I'd like to have a frank discussion about what her prospects are and what advice you guys have on colleges.
Her PR's
1600: 5:28
3200: 11:56
Preferably she'd go to a college in Texas within 5 or 6 hours of Lubbock. She's valedictorian and already has a bunch of scholarships plus she'll definitely qualify for a PELL grant and TEXAS grant. What's the best team you think she could feasibly make?
Her wishlist: Getting to run in a winning program with a coach she likes.
My wishlist: In Texas, 5-6 hours from Lubbock. Not a party school. Good academics.
She is probably going to major in some science/medical field and minor in journalism. Her first choice college is UT@ Austin but I doubt she could make the team there.
She doesn't really care if it's a private, public, or religious college.
Just for reference, we go to a tiny 1A school in Texas so her PR's are good for our school and to some extent the coaches realize she will get better when she runs more than 15 miles a week.
