How to use the sheet
Each cell is the median program in that division (programs: NCAA D1 363, NCAA D2 282, NCAA D3 351, NAIA 161). D1 and D2 show the Recruit level, where coaches start real conversations. D3 and NAIA have no Recruit level on this site, so they show Target, where interest is strongest. Walk-on marks are on each school's page. Bigger programs ask for more and smaller ones for less, so check each school on its own page. Field events are in feet and inches. High school 1600m, 3200m and 300m hurdle times convert on the conversion pages.
Coaches and clubs are welcome to print and share it (PDF), with a link to this page.
