Preferred Recruit · Track StandardsHow to build a track and field recruiting profile
Quick answer
A good track recruiting profile shows your best legal marks with results links, how your marks have improved, a short video, your grades and graduation year, and how to reach you. Keep it on one page that loads fast on a phone.

Step by step
- Marks with proof. List your best marks per event with the meet, date and a results link, legal marks first.
- Progression. Show season-by-season bests. Coaches recruit improvement as much as the current mark.
- Video. Add a recent race or competition video, plus a short training clip for field events.
- Academics. GPA, test scores if you have them, and your intended major.
- Basics. Graduation year, high school, club, height and weight for throwers and jumpers, and your contact info.
Where to host it
A simple page, a shared document or a results profile link all work, as long as one link has everything. Put that link in every coach email.
Common questions
Do I need a paid profile?
No. A free page or document with the right information works.
Should I include meets where I ran slower?
Include your bests and your progression. Coaches understand off days.
