[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter considered the recruiting path for XC/track. She had a 4.7 GPA, high test scores and a sub 19 5K - had some interest from some decently ranked and well known D3 schools but none that she was particularly interested in. Ultimately decided to focus on academics first and is doing club at an T15.  Very happy so far.  Club teammates have faster times than her HS teammates that went to lesser known D1s for distance and she has lots of opportunities for competition.  Bottom line:  look at it from both directions and explore lots of options. [/quote]

I agree with all of this but being part of a team and being competitive in sports make her happy so I do think a coach/team school would be good for her. [/quote]

I agree, too -- cast a wide net.

I don't know what state you're in, or how academic she is, but D2 can be quite competitive and can give you some money if that's an academic fit.

Also, know that there are some "low D1s" that can still give you money and it's a slightly more chill experience.

Runcruit is a good resource, BUT, also look at the teams' race results. Runcruit lists the times that teams would LIKE to have -- not necessarily what they do have. [/quote]

That is good info thank you! We don’t necessarily need money (though I don’t want to pay 90k a year) so hopefully that gives her a bit more options. [/quote]
