<p>Is there a deadline for submitting the athletic recruitment form for EA applicants? I’m asking because this is probably going to be my best (xc!) season (barring injuries, etc) and I just want to submit my best times. Also, how hard is it to balance varsity athletics and schoolwork?</p>
<p>How fast do you run?</p>
<p>My best last year for a 3-mile was 18:48, but I think I can break 18 by the end of the season in a 5K. Are those bad times?</p>
<p>The state championship here in Texas is usually won in around 15 flat for 5k (so about 14:35-40 for 3mi.), give or take. I looked through the rankings and the top 45 were still in the 16:XX or below range (the website cut the rankings off at 45).</p>
<p>Your time’s a bit slow on the recruited athlete scale, but good luck anyway.</p>
<p>I highly doubt the coach will be interested, no offense. Harvard is D-1</p>
<p>Ivy League AA though. If you work hard you might get on the team instead of intramural, but it won’t help you to get in.</p>
