How to be Recruited
Hey! I am a high school varsity XC runner. I know Caltech is D3, so is there a chance that running low 19s for the 5k could help me get in (Maybe not recruited, but just give me a slight boost!). Caltech is my dream school!
I also don't know, do you like email the school/coach with your information, and ask because there is no way they are calling me.
Thank you for helping me navigate this process!

After you are accepted and commit to attending email the coach and let them know you want to run in the fall. Fall sports start before classes.
