hmmmm… don’t really know! And to be perfectly honest, I hope we never have to find out either!!! :eek:

(from what I have heard, if you fail a PRT you are put into a remediation group…not sure if they are called that, but you have to attend extra training… not sure if you are allowed to retake PRT after that… )

The key is to keep up with the PRT year-round… which means running during free time (you see mids running around the yard at all hours of the day and night, although I must admitt we were down there this past weekend and there were lots more of them running around and practicing pullups than I recall seeing on previous visits)…

something along the lines of “an ounce of prevention…” sort of thing…

what I have heard, on several occassions, is that sometimes the run can be particuarly tough for some of the varsity athletes…and surprisingly, the ones that you would think would have no issues, such as football, which focuses on sprints rather than distance running… go figure! Somehow having an “athlete” fail a PRT doesn’t compute!
