I am a current junior in highschool and this is my second year running. My soph PRs were 18:24 for 5k, a 10:37 3200 and a 4:54 1600m. This year I ran a 16:32 5k and a 9:19 3k. I hope to improve much more during the rest of this year and next year. Could I get a scholarship?
You could quit posting things 3 times, that would help.
i appreciate that
That's a heck of an improvement in one year. Don't expect the improvements to come in as big chunks in the future, but honestly, to be considered for a scholarship, you'll have to run your 3k PR over a full 2-miles. Or make Footlocker Nationals in cross. Or do something equally impressive. There just aren't many scholarships to go around.
Just to get a spot on a team, though, you are on track to earn that.
Small schools will notice you if you are able to get your 3k pr under 9 min your Jr. year. Not a full ride, but partial at a small school.
To get real money or large school attention you need to have a Jr. pr of sub 8:30 in the 3k.
Like a previous poster mentioned... not much money to go around. So don't be dissapointed.
Just my two cents.
Those are very good times for a girl. Write your own ticket.
