I'm a Runner?

Question

Hey everyone!

My name is Mike. (I'm using Aimee's account..too lazy to make one up on my own at the moment)

. . . But I was wondering. . .

I'm a really good runner, but my high school didn't have a cross country or track team. (Private school)I ran independently- though always keeping in shape and racing. I've compared my times to the high school runners in my area, and I'm as fast, if not faster than any of them.

I'd really enjoy running on the College cross country team. Do I have to have competed in high school sports? I've been told no by many people, and yes by several others.

I'm willing to work my tail off.

. . . Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

try joining a track or xc club in your area and run for them.

Answer 2

send your times to a college coach and he will tell you......................many colleges let anyone on the team...look on milesplit.us   there are some forum posts asking for interested runners to come to their schools that are just starting to get a track or cross country program
