My son just received an appointment to the USNA, he was not recruited an an athlete but has run Varsity XC for the past 3 years as well as distance Track and is Co-captain His team was 3rd at 3A State this year. How does he go about contacting the coach and being a walk-on candidate, does he still need to be NCAA eligible -he has contacted his admissions officer but we have not heard back yet. His Pr is a 17:10 for a 5K and just ran a 10k at 37:43 He is hoping to run under 4:45 for the 1600 and get his 3200 down to a low 10, his PR is 10:27
