[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ like in the other post in this forum on track. No mention of really great track schools like Oregon, as example. In fact, the schools mentioned aren’t really great for track at all. So what’s the point for a kid who is an athlete? Is this just a hook pushed by a parent who wants to see their dc get into an Ivy or similar? [/quote] There are probably 2-3 girls in the state of VA that would qualify for Oregon/Arkansas/LSU/USC/Florida/Kentucky and those girls have those schools on their recruiting radar. For everyone else- other rosters need to be filled and if a kid is interested in a college sport- they are going after whatever spot they can[/quote] ‘Whatever spot they can’ is very different than what we are discussing here which is parents being hyper focused on sports as a hook for an Ivy or similar. See recent post on Ivy football as example. [/quote]
