DS looks to be getting invited to an official (per NCAA) visit the CGA in February by the track and cross country coach.
What should we expect when we take him there?
I know overall acceptance is around 15%. What is the rate for recruited athletes? I would assume higher, but is it 20% or 50% or what?
Sounds like recruited athletes need a close to 300 PFE. We did a mock pfe after he spent all day working slinging gravel and lumber at a pig farm. It was also cold, and he still had a lot of congestion from a week old virus. He still managed a 244. Biggest weakness was push-ups, he only did 35. He's adding push-ups to his routine with a goal of 55-60 by AIM (assuming he gets accepted to that). He did 82 situps, and his goal will be 95-100 by summer. He missed the 8:30 run time by 7 seconds, which the congestion, plus having been focusing on wrestling over running, was mostly to blame for. Improving that time will be the easiest for him. His mile PR is sub-5 minute, so he should be able to do the run in under 8 minutes.
