The facts about the cross country recruiting process and college cross country scholarships.

The NCAA allows each division I track and field / cross country program 12.69 scholarships for men and 18 for women.  In division II the ratio is 12.6 scholarships for men and 12.6 for women.

As a high school runner you should be aware that the standard at college level is very high. I would recommend that you attend a few meets to gauge the actual intensity of athletics at this level. Remember that only the absolute top runners will be approached with offers.

You should not just concentrate on the best division I colleges, many of these larger schools usually have a large number of potential recruits. The competition is fierce, unless you are a blue chip runner you wont receive scholarship offers. There is nothing wrong with smaller division I, division II or NAIA colleges. What would you rather have, a partial or full cross country scholarship at a division II school or the offer of a walk on at one of the top schools? At the end of the day its your education that's important.
