Good afternoon!
I am looking for a little bit of guidance here and have been doing some digging unable to find any info.
I am interested in trying out for the USAFA as a walk on to the track and field team as a decathlete in 2015 provided my prep school year goes well (which I intend). Given the fact that the prep school does not have a track and field team and I want to walk on in 2015...is there anyway to try out this summer at the open meet in August of 2014 and red shirt prep school year if they decided they want me on the team? Going 10-12 months without training for a sport would surely ruin any hope of successfully trying out and walking on.
I spoke with Coach Lindeman a couple times and he promised he would give me the opportunity to tryout. He told me that I needed to be accepted into the Academy to give me that opportunity. Now I realize I may have just answered the question in itself but I do not believe that is the case. What do recruited athletes do if their sport is not offered and they get accepted into the P School?I do not presume waiting 10 months?
If anyone has any info or you're a track athlete now, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you in advance!
