im a sophmore in high school and i think i really want to run cross country and maybe track in college. now i dont think im good enough for a division 1 school but im okay with D2. i know im not gonna be amazing but i just like competing and i love running. my pr for the 5k is like 20.00min and i think i can def. break that in xc during my next two years, and my pr for the 2mile is 12.30, and 5:50 for the mile. sowhat do people going into these divisions typically run for a 5k or 1 or 2 mile? and what would be some good colleges to look at?

5K, Div II= High 16 low 17 makes you good
Mile= hovering around 5:00(under go to Div I)
College runs the 3K in track not the 3200M, but for you dear= in the 11:00's gets notice to Div II.
Please note that the national winners all have Div I worthy times, so scanning the national results will discourage the youngsters.
Work hard and remember Mileage makes Champions. You build a good base in the off season and look out! The quality of the miles is not as important as the cumulative effect of getting them, so keep a log!
Coached NAIA for a couple seasons when I was younger and in the USAF at the same time(fun years)
