[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does your son think about all this?  Does he have a preference?   My freshman son is in a similar situation regarding track/XC, but not yet willing to give up soccer and basketball.  My feeling is this has to play itself out.  Maybe I'm naïve, but seems like what he does or doesn't do freshman year shouldn't matter if he's really as good as the coaches think he is.  Glad you asked this question because I'm interested to hear what others who've been down this road think.  [/quote]

Track recruiting is relatively easy as it's entirely based on times. Each school has a form on their website and you submit your times to the coach. Some schools post their minimum recruiting times by event. You can do club track/Junior Olympics (summer only) if you think it will improve times. But it's not really a recruiting tool. There are summer track camps but i don't think they are critical. Most track recruiting is based on Junior year times, especially for boys. Many sprinters do other sports in the fall, most distance runners do XC in the fall. Basketball may be tough if you are giving up indoor track (not all schools have indoor). It can work if he cross trains for track and can start the spring season at a high level. [/quote]
