For recruited athletes, the nominating process can be a little different. While it’s true that everybody needs a congressional nomination, the academy has some leeway in securing nominations for certain athletes. In my class, some athletes had nominations from parts of the country that never used their allocation of nominations. In other words, if the athletic department really wants you, they will secure a nomination for you.

For trackstar, I would definitely be contacting the track & field coaches immediately. Looking at the USMA website, the best mile time posted by a cadet in 2012 was 4:14. With a 4:05 under his belt, this time would make trackstar immediately viable as a recuit and contributing member to the track team.
