<p>Not sure how many slots a track coach will get at Bowdoin for his/her class of 2016 recruits, but to get an idea of how important you are to him/her, I think you’d want to research two things: 1) compare your times to the times Bowdoin’s existing track athletes run in the 110 hurdles. Also compare your time to the NESCAC league champs Are you in the ball park? Could you reasonably improve in your 4 years at Bowdoin to the point where you would regularly score major points in meets? 2) see if Bowdoin already has a stud in your event from the class of 2011 or 2012, which would mean there would be greater “need” for the coach to want to use a slot on you.</p>
