Is my 800 meter run time good enough for college track?

Question

What 800 meter run times do colleges look for, this was my first year running track, and I USE to get an 800 time of 2:21, and then narrowed down to 2:17 ALL THE WAY to 2:15, can anyone tell me what my time well most be likely next year, and tell me the 800 run times colleges, ANY COLLEGES look for, THANKS!!!!

Answer 1

Well if you keep running and improving, you can probably hit a college track worthy time by next year, I don't think you will be the best on the team or anything, but you can probably run college track.

Answer 2

No. Usually colleges select the BEST for competition and that time isnt going to get it done. I'd say it will need to be under 2 min. or 2:05 at the most.

Answer 3

Not good enough for competitive college track, unfortunately. I'd think you're looking at below 2:10...

Answer 4

if you work really hard...you'll probably get to 2:05. Not good enough for college. most colleges are deep under 2:00

Answer 5

NO

Answer 6

no they would be far off.. you couldnt even make a final in my country for the 12-13 year olds...

for college you need to be like 2:05.00 or under
