Of HYP, I only know of one guy being recruited from CA (the #1 state for HS running), and his times were 2:04 (800), 4:29 (1600), 9:48 (3200).

Forget trying to get into Stanford on running. They’ve recruited two guys under 9 for 3200, and a girl (Laurynne Chetelat) who’s done 9:52 for 3200. Ryan Hall graduated from there, and he’s done sub 60 for half marathon.

Of the UC’s, Berkeley, UCLA, and UCSB are pretty tough to get recruited by.

University of Washington is getting Christine Babcock (4:33 for 1600), Oklahoma State is getting German Fernandez (if you don’t know who this guy is, then I question your knowledge of running).

Cornell, UPenn, and Dartmouth haven’t really recruited in CA.
