What are my chances of getting a track scholarship, Division doesn't matter?

Question

I would love 2 run track in college but it would also be extreamly helpful if i got a scholarship. My events are the hurdles and relays. My fastest 55m HH time was 8.3 sec, 110m HH-15.10, 300M HH-45.50, 400m IH-59.13. I ran a 23.80 in the 4x200m relay and 52.66 in the 4x400m relay. My fastest 300m time is a 38.10. I've been running track for three years and got a box full of medals. Iwas league and section champ in the 55m HH and the 110m HH. I went to the New York State meet when i was a freshman and sophmore. I got into the state final for the 110m HH when i was a sophmore, the only one in the final, and placed 7th, but thata was because i messed up my blocks since i just learned how 2 use them and im positive that i would of placed in the top 5. I also came in 2nd in the county meet when i was a sophmore. I have gotten varsity letters and i think i may be team captain this year plus i have a pretty good shot at going back to the state meet again. With that, what are my chances?

Answer 1

I agree with the earlier response.  Some division 2 and 3 schools give scholarships just for participating.  However, the cost of attending the schools can be very expensive...

Answer 2

Know that most track scholarships are partial scholarships. To start getting noticed by some colleges:

110H - 14.50 (Fully automated timing, no hand timing)

300H - Around 40.0

200 - 22.50 (open time, not from relay)

400 - 49.9 (open time)

That will get you on the radar..

NCAA Division 1 & 2 men's programs get about 12 scholarships a year, not a lot of people get full rides. Division 3 doesn't offer athletic scholarships. To get a full ride somewhere you'll need to be very competitive, or go to a very small, weak program/school.

I went to a competitive Division 2 university.. NONE of the incoming freshman in my class got a full-ride and these were the times we had in high school...

100 - 10.5, 200 - 21.4

100 - 10.8, 200 - 21.9, 400 - 49.5

200 - 21.7, 400 - 47.4

200 - 22.8, 400 - 49.5, 800 - 1:58

400 - 48.0, 800 - 1:55

110H - 14.1, 300H - 38.5, 400 - 49.2

110H - 14.25, 300H - 38.8

And that's just what I remember off the top of my head, we probably had a class of around 20, all running good times.

Your 110H is your best event. I would focus on improving there first. If you can run a good 400 (under 50) a college will want you for their 4x4 team. Good luck.
