One D-2 school that is probably not as fast in its sprinters as your son is, but that may be worth checking out, is Bentley, which excels in your son’s areas of interest.

Wouldn’t Washington and Lee University make your list too?

I think I looked at it, but I didn’t think it was as fast as OP’s son wanted as their best 100m time was 11.28s and their best 200m time was 21.84s. As OP had mentioned some other teams previously mentioned as too slow, I thought that would be a likely remark for W&L. But the fact that I looked up their times was because I thought W&L would be a good option to consider.

Yes. Sorry. I was thinking about the A, B, C bands that were used for the slots. They relate to how the student matches against that schools average academic admittance.

Thanks for your suggestions! A lot of these schools keep coming up over and over so that is great confirmation.

@AustenNut I’m not sure where those times you mentioned came from… But those are not his times.

Maybe those are the best times on the W&L team?

Ah yes, I believe you are correct.

@DramaMama2021 was correct, those were the best times in those races from a W&L athlete.
