What Wesleyan's tiers mean
- Recruitment / target recruits
- Wesleyan's recruiting line ("Recruitment" on the men's side, "Target Recruits" on the women's).
- Walk-on standard
- Wesleyan's walk-on standard.
What the sheet also says
- Reaching the posted standards doesn't guarantee a spot; academic schedule, event needs, commitment to multiple seasons, attitude and coach's discretion all count.
- Men's hurdle marks are at high school heights.
Getting recruited by Wesleyan
- 1Fill out the questionnaire
Most programs collect prospects through a recruiting questionnaire on their official site. Look for it on Wesleyan's track and field pages, along with the coaching staff's contact details.
- 2Email your event coach
Keep it short. Give your events, your FAT marks with wind readings and meet dates, links to your results, your graduation year, GPA and test scores, and the meets you're running next.
- 3Be honest about where you are
Compare your wind-legal FAT marks to the tier you're aiming for. If you're close but haven't hit it, say so and show how your last few races have trended.
- 4Follow up when you PR
A new mark is the best reason to write again. Coaches build their recruiting boards over months, so send a time that crosses one of their lines as soon as you run it.
The Sprint University app
Train to hit Wesleyan's standard
Wesleyan's men's 100m line is 11.20. The Sprint University app plans the speed and strength work between your PR and that mark, and adjusts each session to how recovered you are that morning.
