I’m a freshman running d3 cross country and want to transfer to U of I to run. I can walk on. Would the coach let me on the team? I got hurt and ran 25:30 for my first race. I ended up medically hardshipping so I have a year of eligibility for cross country. I ran a 1:56 in high school and 4:23 mile 9:31 two mile. Could I run for U of I next year? I was also not recruited to d3 so maybe I will be able to run on the team?
You need to contact the coach directly and make an inquiry on whether he accepts walk ins and the appropriate process…
Is it all right if I just email the coach? It won’t violate any NCAA rules?
You can make initial contact, include times and your academic status. He/she will let you know how to proceed.
