[quote=Anonymous]I read OP’s post as “my kid really enjoys running and is a decent athlete but isn’t likely to be an elite level runner.” Look up schools you are interested in on Athletic.net to get a sense of times. Talk with coaches about how their programs are structured. Some questions: 1. If you have one combined team, how do you decide who runs varsity vs JV (top 8, what are typical times?), 2. If DS isn’t running with varsity will he do all the same workouts? Separate or together with varsity? 3. Training program—miles per week, etc. There are a number of programs where a not elite runner can be part of a very strong program but the actual experience of a JV level runner on those teams varies widely so you’ll need to dig deeper. Other than St Anselms, I think the all boys schools are going to be harder to make for a middle of the road runner. Schools in the MAC conference might be your best bet but don’t think that includes any all boys schools. [/quote]
