How far do you have DISCUS for collages to exept you from high school?

Question

GIVE ME A NUMBER IN FEET PLEASE!!!

Answer 1

It depends on the level of collegiate competition (NCAA div I, II, III, NAIA, etc.) you're speaking of. And you ask for the distance for which they will "accept" you. The fact is that with the limited number of scholarships that Track has to offer, most schools would accept any athlete that can show a basic level of proficiency as a "walk-on." If you're speaking of at what performance they might consider offering you a scholarship, you'd like have to be among the top throwers in your state. Otherwise, a "weight man" has to be able to perform in more than one event (discus, shot, hammer, javelin).

Answer 2

It can really depend on the college. By "exept" I think you mean "accept"
You can throw anything and not get accepted...throwing the discus far alone won't help; if you have an IQ of 20, you won't get accepted regardless of how far you throw.
If you're talking about getting a good scholarship, then (assuming this is for guys) a big division I college, you ought to throw 180-190 feet, which is real tough for high schooler. Division II, maybe 165; division III, I'd guess 145 feet. It also helps if you show potential, like throwing those distances with bad techique, or you're a tall, skinny weakling who shows potential to improve.
