If you’re seeking a largish school within 4ish hours western Long Island that also has a varsity track men’s team, these are some schools you may want to investigate, sorted by my guesses as to what your chances for admission might be:

If you’re willing to go further, or smaller, or without a varsity men’s track team, then there are other options that become possible. And since most of these schools are D1 schools, there’s also the question mark as to whether these schools would suit your athletic needs.
