Am I Fast Enough To Run At Wake Forest University- College Track and Field Recruiting
Hey, Coach – I am very interested in running at Wake Forest…am I fast enough? I have received numerous e-mails about running at Wake Forest over the past few weeks. So I thought I would provide information on their recruiting standards.
In a conversation with a very high-end NCAA I Head Coach this morning, we discussed how recruiting standards are created. I believe that most programs develop recruiting standards in the same manner. Coaches are looking for athletes who have the potential to score points at the conference level. I did the very same thing while at Columbia. This differs a great deal from the typical high school track program philosophy. College programs are not looking to simply cover all of the events. As the coach this morning indicated, “I wish that recruits and their parents understood that our standards are based on conference results – not whether we have someone better in that event.”
For example, let me go back to Wake Forest. Their top 200m runner ran 21.85 this past spring. Their second best 200m runner ran 22.36. So, one would presume if I were a 22.0 200m runner who was a junior in high school that I could run at Wake Forest. However, there is much more to it. The ACC is comprised of 15 schools – many of which a great sprint programs. A quick review of their conference list (https://www.tfrrs.org/lists/2250.html ) revels that 20 men have run faster than 21.30 and 50 men ran faster than 21.85 – the ACC only scores 8 places – do the math.

AM I FAST ENOUGH - TRACK AND FIELD RECRUITING STANDARDS
Want to know what you need to run, jump or throw to get the attention of the schools of your dreams? I have provided links to numerous schools below. Most indicate what performance they require from you to either walk-on or gain an athletic scholarship.
I would caution you to take this information with a gigantic grain of salt. Many program’s list of published standards is more their dream wish list as opposed to their actual line in the sand list. Numerous programs list rather stringent walk-on standards, but a simply quick perusal of their teams performances at www.tfrrs.org will clearly show that many athletes in their program (regardless of year in college) are incapable of hitting the listed walk-on standard expected of high school athletes.
My point – don’t be discouraged if you don’t hit their published marks – just keep improving and striving toward that mark. Use the recruiting process to sell yourself effectively! However, if you are not anywhere near their walk-on times, you may want to consider other options.

Want To Be A Big 10 Sprinter - College Track and Field Recruiting Standards
I was recently asked what time would be required to compete in the sprints/hurdles at a Big 10 school. Obviously, there is no conference standard to be able to walk-on at a member institution or a generic scholarship list of standards as it varies from school to school. However, I did reach out to one of the more successful programs in the Big 10 and was able to get their recruiting standards. It is also important to keep in mind that consistent performances at the indicated levels along with the ability to contribute competitively in other events will be used to award athletic scholarships. These marks are the minimum standards to receive an athletic scholarship. Remember, in Track and Field a scholarship can range from books to a full-ride. If you just barely achieve the mark below, you should not expect more than books - 20%. Want to know if you can compete in the Big Ten, see below:
WALK-ON STANDARDS, Men / Women
100m- 10.80 / 12.10

NCAA III T&F - More competitive than you think
NCAA III
Many high school athletes fail to seriously consider NCAA III track and field programs as they feel that the level of competition would not challenge them. However, a closer look at the performances these athletes produce would suggest differently for most. At this year's outdoor championship it took the following marks just to get to the meet as the last entry in the field...for the men 10.67/100m, 21.47/200m, 1:51.86/800m, 14:27/5K, 23'9"/LJ and 52'10"/SP - for the women it took 12.10/100m, 24.76/200m, 2:11.92/800m, 17:10/5k, 18'9"/LJ and 45'/SP just to get to the meet.

A look at NCAA I day one results - WOW!
9.82!
I wanted to give you a quick look at just how competitive NCAA I Track and Field has become. The following men's performances occurred last night in Eugene, OR and failed to advance to the Finals on Saturday - 10.05/100m, 20.42/200m, 45.53/400m, 1:47.19/800m, 3:43.78/1500m (around a sub 4 Mile), 13.58/110HH, 49.44/400IH, 38.92/4x1 and 3:04.17/4x4. The following field event marks failed to score - 17'10.5"/PV and 62'3/SP. Absolutely insane!
