NCAA Track & Field: Where do You Best Fit In?
The
simplest recruiting advice: study and understand your specific sport on
a high school and a collegiate / NCAA level. High school Track & Field
is unique from high school football – and as a “non-revenue” NCAA sport,
it certainly differs from NCAA football and basketball. College base
ball recruiting is as competitive (and can often be more competitive)
than football or basketball recruiting.
The key to improving your college recruiting and scholarship chances is
being informed. Understand the landscape of your sport on a high school
and NCAA level and begin to understand where you fit within that
landscape. Do you fit in best in Division I, II, or III softball? And
how do your athletic goals fit within that? Do you have strong
geographic preferences and how will that impact your college choices?
As you begin to develop and mature academically and athletically,
consider your current skill-sets and where you intend to be as a
high-school graduate and as a college-graduate. Understanding your
personal, athletic, and academic interests and skills is crucially
important as you enter the college recruiting process.
Begin collecting information and data about universities, teams, and
coaches as early as you can because this is an integral step in setting
the academic, athletic and collegiate goals that will guide you through
the college recruiting process.
You can find complete Track & Field statistics for division I, II, and III
Track & Field online at
http://www.ncaasports.com. How do those stats
compare to yours? What do you need to improve to match statistics and
what are the various team's strengths and weaknesses?
While determining which teams might be good fits for your abilities and
talents, study the conferences and division layouts. Polls / rankings
are published during and after the seasons -- these polls are excellent
ways to study the landscape of NCAA Track & Field. Take a look at the NCAA

The NCAA Division II
Outdoor Track and Field Championships were held in Southern
California for the first time since 1996 and defending champions
from Abilene Christian and Lincoln University made the trip West
worthwhile.
Abilene Christian won its third straight men's championships with
a thrilling one-point win over St. Augustines, while the Lincoln
University women posted a narrow four-point win over second-place
Adams State on Saturday at Mt. San Antonio Colleges Hilmer Lodge
Stadium. Cal Poly Pomona hosted the three-day event. Both the
men's and women's divisions came down to the final event of the
day, the 4x400 relay.
It was also an impressI've day for defending individual champions.
Shandria Brown of Lincoln repeated in both the women's 100 and
200, which went a long way toward pushing her team to the national
title. She won the 100 meters in 11.33. It came down to the final
race, the 4x400 relay which Lincoln won in 3:39.23 with the
quartet of Lileith Sims, Marlene Smith, Kelly Marshall and Moya
Thompson. The team immediately broke into chants of back-to-back,
back-to-back.Thompson also won the 400.
Adams State was led by former Orange County star Zoila Gomez, who
won the 5,000 meters on Saturday with a time of 16:32.97. She also
won the 10,000 meters on Thursday.
We had an unexpected surprise from Elfreda Reid (who earned points
with a seventh-place finish in the shot put). We expected to get a
lot more points in the 200 and we were concerned Adams State had a
lot left. I take my hats off to the girls,Lincoln Head Coach
Victor Thomas said. The weather was much better today than it was
(Friday), but it didnt really affect us. T |
After a
come-from-behind victory to take the championship a year ago, the
University of Wisconsin LaCrosse men wasted little time earning
their fourth consecutive outdoor title at Millikin University this
spring. After winning the program's fourth-straight indoor title
earlier in the year, the Eagles recorded 101 points, 62 points
better than second place Nebraska Wesleyan.
On the women's side, Wheaton College of Massachusetts was looking
for its fourth-straight title as well, but came up short behind
the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. The Titans pulled off the
upset with 57 points as Liz Woodworth's titles in the 800 and
1,500 meter runs helped push Oshkosh past Calvin College's
second-place finish (54.3 points). Wheaton finished third with
37.8 points.
In total, the Championships saw 21 (plus one tie) Lindsay Stadium
and eight NCAA records fall. Wheaton College's (Mass.) Amber James
(200 m, 400 m) and Oshkosh's Liz Woodworth (800 m, 1500 m) both
earned multiple titles, as did the College of New Jersey women
(4x100, 4x400) and LaCrosse men (4x100 and 4x200). LaCrosse
seniors Andrew Rock (400 m) and Derek Toshner (400 hurdles),
University of Wisconsin Whitewater senior Jeremy Wendt (hammer)
and Woodworth (1500 m) also posted Olympic Trial times. - NCAA.org |
