To those out there be somewhat selective. I went to a school with no facilities. We ran at a 6 lane middle school track outdoors all winter. This was Juco and I can tell you it sucked. Running in freezing weather in sleet isn't conducive to speed.
Thanks for your comment and your perspective. There are definitely programs with limited resources and they can present some challenging conditions for training.
Its even harder now? 35 years ago I wrote letters to 12 D1 schools with my top times/events along with my academic qualifications. I got responses from 4. Ended up as a walkon and competed for 2+ years.
Thanks for your comment as well as the perspective. I would contend it’s probably easier and harder all at the same time. Technology makes it easier to reach out. But also increases competition for spots.
Coaches generally have a way of reading your HS stats to consider you as a recruit. Basically in a shot put they will subtract 10 ft or so from your hs performances to project what you would do in college. So you can still get a sense of which schools might want you using that.
So underrated thanks coach 🤝🏾
No problem. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for explaining the process.
Glad I can help!

Very little money in track it’s so sad
That free degree tho
If you don't have 10s of thousands of spectators at meets and people watching them live on TV the money's not gonna come out of thin air
