Teddy, you have started many many threads on getting recruited to an Ivy league school … and my overriding piece advice is to relax and do your best academically and athletically and then WHEN you have achieved your best academically and athletically figure out what your options are. If your accomplishments lead you to an Ivy as a recruited runner; that’s great … if they lead you to a NESCAC school as a recruited runner; that’s great also … if you can attend an Ivy and not run; that’s great also … etc.

I am not an expert but I’m 99% sure there is no coach that wants to hear from a possible recruit every 2-4 weeks (the time between your new threads) about minor events … they want to hear you have the academic chops for their school or that you’ve had a recent significant accomplishment athletically (new PR or excellent placement in a big meet).
