[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, a couple more things. If you're not already following Coach Renee Lopez's Facebook group, you should be. The group is called Educating Parents of HS Athletes On The College Recruiting Process. She's a bit much, but her advice is excellent. I'll tell you the highlights of what she would tell you.

1.) It doesn't really matter if your kid is competing for his school or a club. In finding a fit for college, it's about how he markets himself. (And for track, always, times!) She would say he should be emailing coaches and building relationships NOW.

2.) He should "cast a wide net" and consider schools at all divisions.

I don't know a lot about sprinting. But I grew up in NYS, which is a very competitive scene, and a lot of hot shots went on to run track at SUNY Cortland. NOT the most prestigious SUNY, or a particularly nice town. But the coach was Jack Daniels, who was doing revolutionary work in exercise science. He got many kids to national competition. There are gems in many unexpected places.

This is all helpful advice, thanks. I’ll look into Cortland. I’d also heard SUNY Geneseo has a strong track program  [/quote]
