What are times for cross country and track for college?

Question

like the 5k and the mile, and the 2mile. like what are good times to be recruited to a D1 school

Answer 1

Well, I'm not exactly sure, but I would guess you'd need to be running a 5k at least under 16 and the mile under 4:30.

I can say from experience that running a 5k in the mid 16's and a 2 mile in the mid-to-low 10's won't generate interest from any D-I schools. But, it will get you on the team at a D-III school.

Answer 2

Around 16:00 in the 5K and under 9:30 in the 2 mile sound about right.

Last years HS leader in the 2 miles ran 8:34 (national record, the #10 guy ran 8:59.

The Footlocker cross-country champion ran 14:50 and the 25th finisher ran 15:51.
