Question

I'm a freshman and I run a 4:47 mile , how much faster do I need to run to get a full ride to any college?

Answer 1

that's really fast!  wow!

Answer 2

I really don't have an answer to your question, but d**n, thats flying!!!! You might be close now.

Answer 3

I'm assuming your a guy, so you're gonna have to work really hard to get a scholarship for running.  4:47 is fairly average, but still good. You're certainly fast.  I don't know how fast you have to be, but a guy at my school runs a 4:23 mile, and I don't think he qualifies for many scholarships.

Answer 4

Probably 4:20s by the time your a junior.  When you're a senior it's really too late because you'll probably have to commit to a college before track season.  But it's definitly doable if you're running 4:47 as a freshman.  Good luck.

Answer 5

A 4:30-4:20 would be sufficient to tryout and walk on at most colleges.  Your ability to get a scholarship would vary widely depending on the school though I would generally say you would have a shot if you were down around 4:15.
