college running?

  • #1 college running?
    Hi, I'm a senior xc and track runner in high school. My best 5k is a 16:50 and I was wondering what chances I would have to compete on a college level with those times? I have been contacted by a few Division 3 coaches, but would like to go to a Division 1 college. I'm hoping there will be an opportunity there.

    Look at DII schools as well. Much better opportunity to compete right away and get more one on one coaching than many DI schools. Not the rule necessarily, but definitely the norm.
