What sort of scholarship are people like Valby, Tuohy, and Nico on?
In my experience, D1 athletes basically never get a full ride on the men's side, unless Nico was going to a smaller school or something. I know 29:00 guys on a full ride and also sub 29 minute guys on 40%.
For women, I see more full rides. I bet Valby isn't on a full ride since Florida spreads it out over every event group. Tuohy may have been on a full because they built the program around her. I've seen girls with that level of talent get full rides, but also girls like that go places on 50-75%. Shoot I've seen D1 girls run 17:00 flat and are on a full ride.
Can anyone share their experiences? What division did this person run, what are their PRs/accolades, and how much money were they offered?
I'll start with myself as an example:
D1
HS class of '05
Several times all-state
9:29
4:25
Offered 25% at a mid major program.
