[quote=Anonymous]For my daughter the prereads to happened before the official visits at selective schools.  They don’t want to invest anyone’s time in a visit if they can’t get through the preread.  Those prereads for track happen summer before senior year and visits were September of senior year. Offers are given (at Ivys at least) and you get a likely letter after you commit to a coach and before you apply ED. I suspect the process is similar at NESCACs. Maybe a little less formal at less selective schools.

I would not pay for a recruiting service.  Just email coaches. If they like your son’s times, and his grades/test scores are a match in the coach’s view, he will hear back.

You can get a lot of information by looking at the track team’s roster.  Then look up those runner’s times on MileSplit to see how their HS times compare to your son’s. It will give you a sense of what the coach is looking for and whether your son would be a good fit. Pay the extra $60 or whatever for MileSplit Pro.  It is totally worth it for the research.
