Answer 1

I would take a look at the schools that you're interested in and research what times their freshman are running. If you're close, you just might.

Answer 2

This guy on my team runs a 10.4 in the 100m and was talking about how he might get a scholarship.  However, my coach said it's unlikely.  Scholarships for sports are difficult to get.  The mile runner who is now a senior in college didn't get a scholarship for sports.  He broke the school record and ran a 4:13 too.  Instead he got a scholarship for music.

Answer 3

If you get down to 10.2 and 21.3 yes you will have plenty of chances to get scholarships, because you will most likely win nationals or at very least place at nationals in both events.  Unfortunately for you it seems your 200 and 400 are considerably weak compared to your 100 so I doubt your target times are realistic and in reality you will only receive scholarships at D3 schools.

Answer 4

Getting a scholarship is not easy. There are so many like you who's aiming for scholarship. It's going to be a battle in getting that scholarship. If you really want that scholarship, you have to earn it. Your time today doesn't really matter because you should strive harder in order for you to improve.

Answer 5

Well dang, if you're going to be a junior or senior in highschool and you're already running that well then you should definitely be in great shape for getting a scholarship.
