<p>1500 for 5k is sick. would you mind telling me your name, I might have heard of you.</p>
<p>but yes, it will help. This year Stanford is recruiting a HUGE (5-7ish) number of recruits from the nation’s top runners (Chris Derrick 2nd at footlocker is one of htem i believe). If you have a decent application and can get recruited from Stanford, it will help a lot. Get in contact with the coach now and tell him your plans, i’m sure he’ll be glad to know you’re interested.</p>
