Both my kids are scholarship athletes for college but not in track, they play 2 different sports but from what I saw on the NLI taking a year off was not an option. The only way that you might be able to make that work is by working it out with the coach of the school that wants to sign you but if you are taking a year off from competing then the coach might not be so gung ho to sign you.
I imagine though if you are good enough to receive a scholarship out of high school then you ought to be good enough to walk on a year later, as long as you train and stay fit. I can say though that taking a year off from school can really make it hard to go back. Unless it is really necessary IMO I would not recommend it. Best of luck to you.
