Recruiting Standards? erg times and academics.

Post by fvnout » October 5th, 2007, 9:44 am

Hi,
I just wanted to know what ivy league lightweight recruiting standards were.
I'm a high school junior and I'm just wondering.
Thanks and please share any "I know a guy who.." stories you might have.
:D

There have been a lot of great threads about this subject over the years, so you will want to search back and read some. the forum is a lot more quiet then it used to be.

I can't find the thread I was looking in for with input from Xeno (olympic gold medalist who used to post here regularly). He had a blog post on this a year or so ago. My memory is that he suggested sub 6:30 to get recruited as a heavy, so as a lwt the times would be slightly slower (maybe in the 6:40 range or faster).

Here is an example of an old thread:

Good luck.
