With over one million high school track and field athletes and 37,000 NCAA track and field athletes, you might wonder just how fast or far you need to run, jump, or throw to get recruited. Track and field recruiting standards vary across:
There are general norms explained below for each of these groupings, but the truth is that each individual college sets its own track and field recruiting standards (see links below for some examples). Scholarship standards are even more stringent, and it's important to understand the difference between being good enough to get admissions assistance vs. being good enough to get a track and field scholarship. If you'd like to know more about a specific school's track and field recruiting or scholarship standards, it's easy: just pick up the phone and ask. In general, the large D1 colleges in the most prominent athletic conferences (Pac 12, Big East, Big Ten, Southeastern, etc.) have the strictest track and field recruiting standards and the most competitive athletes. As you progress from left to right in the charts below, the standards lessen. You can see that the recruiting standards at the Ivy League schools, even though they are D1 (Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth, uPenn, Cornell and Brown), fall somewhere between the large D1 schools and D2. As a result, the Ivies are a terrific fit for athletes who want a Division 1 track and field experience, but who might not otherwise be able to compete at the top athletic schools. The challenge of getting recruited at an Ivy is that your grades and test scores have to be stellar. Just how stellar? Tier One Athletics has some helpful blog posts about the Ivy League Academic index, and even has its own calculator so you can see where you stack up academically.
