Yale track and field recruiting standards

Target recruit

The marks Yale looks for in a recruit by the end of the junior athletic year.

What the sheet also says

• These are the standards Yale looks for by the end of your junior athletic year.
• Reaching the standards doesn't guarantee a spot; GPA and standardized test scores are also considered.

Notes on this transcription

• Yale lists the 1600m and mile on one line ("1600m/mile").

1. 1
   Fill out the questionnaire

   Most programs collect prospects through a recruiting questionnaire on their official site. Look for it on Yale's track and field pages, along with the coaching staff's contact details.

2. 2
   Email 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.

3. 3
   Be 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.

4. 4
   Follow 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.

See every D1 program side by side or check your time against all of them.
