[quote=Anonymous]Track is pretty straightforward for recruiting.  My daughter went through the process.  Just start emailing coaches with your stats: times and grades.  If he’s run and done well in district or state meets, reference those.  They can see your son’s results on Milesplit too.  I’m not aware of kids doing online profiles.  My recollection is that coaches started following my daughter on Instagram after she reached out to them.

I’m not sure how an informal drop in when visiting would work.  We visited schools only after the school invited my daughter, but that was D1. I suspect at a D3 school you could do it.  I’d ask the coach via email first then maybe ask the admissions office either beforehand or when you visit.

I would let the coaches know if you’ll be visiting but don’t expect them to respond right away. But if you are persistent and patient you will hear from them.  A lot of the recruiting happens summer before senior year especially if he has a good junior track season. They will recruit boys even after senior winter track, knowing some are late bloomers. Good luck![/quote]
