[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new (for now) paradigm will see more scholarships allowed but that doesn't mean schools will fund them, many won't. Roster spots will be lowered by rule which means cuts for kids already in school, tough times for now HS kids trying to run in college, and walking on will be very difficult.

Its very difficult to get money as a track athlete unless you are really an elite. And its even tougher for males.

Try d3 is my advice unless you're among the top 10 in your event in HS. If you can show during your 11th grade year that you are a viable scorer for a major conference coach, then you have a chance. If you don't hit the elite times until 12th grade, its too late, you'll have to scramble, find someone to take you for a year and hit the transfer portal if you continue to improve.[/quote]

Just checked this thread again, so much more good info, thanks all!

What do you mean by top 10? State or nationally? I checked out run recruit and dc’s sophomore times line up with many schools, lots of d1 as well as d3. It looks like there are less competitive d1 from what I can see. Does that make sense?

I helped dc fill out a number of recruiter questionnaires to schools that seemed like could be a good fit. We left out the schools that seemed to be a reach academically. Dcs a decent student but not remotely close to being a top student.

Does that seem like a game plan?
