Recruited Athletes?

In high school I throw shotput and discus on the the Track and Field team. At a few of the D3 schools I’m looking to apply to (JHU, MIT, etc.) I could make the team and perform relatively well, though I doubt I’d really compete for a medal (PR’s - 36’4" Shot, 109’8" Disk).
I’m nowhere near an elite thrower, and I have yet to contact any of the Field coaches at the schools, but can I still be looked at as a recruited athlete?

Basically - Do you have to be a superstar athlete to be considered a recruited athlete, or just good enough to make the team?
