[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you! She is going into her junior year so we have some time but I wanted to get ahead of it and give her some direction. 
Anyone know any amazing D3 schools with a great track culture? [/quote]

What do her academics look like, what is she interested in studying, what type of school does she prefer, and are there any geographic preferences?[/quote]

Her academics are good (weighted 4.0) but not amazing. She is at a small private school, so recruiting help isn't really a thing, and she has no idea what she wants to do when she is older. Academics have been a struggle for her. She is fairly new to running so she could make very small time drops or huge ones, but [b]she is already firmly in the range of D3 where she would be top 5 on the team[/b].

[b]She wants to stay within a 3 hours drive so that makes it HARD!! [/b][/quote]

Do you have times that you could post. I'm not sure what firmly in the range of D3? There is huge range in D3 and the top schools are competitive with may D1 programs.

3hrs, where are you located?
[/quote]

5k - low 20s (course dependent)
32 - 12:15
16 - 5:40

We are in MD. [/quote]

what times is she aiming for junior year? you can gauge a lot from looking at milesplit and seeing what class of 2027 is in your state, neighboring states or on a national level. A lot of the recruiting is done by rankings like these (especially in XC where. courses are not equal so to see where other runners fell into the scoring/placement)[/quote]
