Thanks for another opinion, Ursa. I believe the student should email the coach a three sentence introduction including PRs, GPA and test scores if available, and the HS coach’s email and phone number. The student should address the college coach by name and indicate that she is targeting a few DI schools and is very specific about which programs she would like to run for. Coaches do get a lot of inquiries, but their assistants are pretty good at figuring out which communications are sincere and a good fit, and then bringing them to the attention of the right coach.
