Georgetown Track & Field Recruiting Times: Class of 2030
What Does It Take to Run at Georgetown?
Inside Georgetown University's Class of 2030: the actual personal bests of high school recruits and collegiate transfers joining one of the nation's most respected academic and Division I track & field programs.
Recruiting standards tell part of the story. The athletes who actually join the program tell us much more.
Georgetown's incoming class combines accomplished high school recruits with proven collegiate transfers, providing a revealing look at what recruiting at a highly selective Division I university looks like today.
The group includes state champions, national-level high school athletes, a Chilean U20 national record-holder, NCAA Championship competitors and transfers from programs including Stanford, Wake Forest, Penn, Utah Valley and Holy Cross.
For prospective recruits, however, the most useful information may be the simplest: the actual personal bests of the athletes Georgetown chose to bring to the Hilltop.

Georgetown's high school recruiting remains exceptionally strong.
On the men's distance side, Georgetown's incoming high school athletes include 4:03, 4:05 and multiple 4:08 1600m runners, alongside 3200m performances in the 8:55–9:01 range.
The women's class is similarly deep, with incoming high school athletes at 2:06.80 and 2:09.70 for 800m, 4:44.92 for 1600m, 24.29 for 200m and 55-second 400m speed.
The class also illustrates another major change in modern recruiting: high school athletes are no longer competing only against other high school athletes for roster opportunities.
Seven of Georgetown's listed newcomers arrive with collegiate experience, including athletes from Stanford, Wake Forest, Penn, Utah Valley and Holy Cross.

Explore Georgetown Recruiting StandardsGeorgetown recruiting is about much more than hitting one time.
The Class of 2030 demonstrates just how competitive Georgetown recruiting can be, particularly in middle-distance and distance events.
But personal bests alone do not explain why one athlete is recruited and another athlete with a similar mark is not.
Coaches are evaluating event needs, roster depth, academic viability, progression, championship performance, versatility, communication and long-term development potential.
The presence of seven collegiate transfers adds another dimension. Today's high school recruit is competing for opportunities in an environment where experienced college athletes can enter the same recruiting marketplace.
The question isn't simply: “Did I hit Georgetown's recruiting standard?”
The better question is: “Is Georgetown actually recruiting someone with my athletic, academic and event profile — and am I approaching the process at the right time?”
