<p>Here are come recruiting guidelines that might help. FYI, the IVYies tend to lower tier 1 DI schools … [Men’s</a> Track Recruiting Guidelines](<a href=“http://www.ncsasports.org/recruiting-tools/College-Track-Recruiting/mens-track-recruiting-guidelines]Men’s”>http://www.ncsasports.org/recruiting-tools/College-Track-Recruiting/mens-track-recruiting-guidelines) … (these are the men’s however the women’s can be found on the tab on the right side of the screen). I believe most distance coaches focus more on 1600/3200 times rather than 5K times especially if the 5K times are from road races or XC courses (every course has different difficulty).</p>

<p>The IVYies are DI so pretty tough competiton … the NESCAC schools (Amherst, Williams, etc) are terrific schools and are DIII schools which have MUCH easier recruiting standards.</p>
