i know that some sports (such as football) have “invited walk ons,” but does anybody know if they exist for track? are these formal or informal agreements?

i’m a sophomore now & i’m looking at some more selective schools (ivies, nyu, berkeley, duke range in terms of selectiveness). last year as a freshman i ran a 2:24 (which i know isn’t impressive enough for recruitment) but i’m hoping by the end of this year i’ll get it down to 2:20, and the end of junior year sub 2:20. but honestly i think the max i can get down to is 2:17.

for invited walk ons (if they exist) or for recruitment, i was wondering what times would be a good goal to work towards for an female 800 runner?
