What kind of times do I have to run for 5k and 1600m track to get a full scholarship in an American college?

To qualify for a full scholarship in track and field at an American college, you will need to meet specific performance standards. While these standards can vary depending on the college and division, here are some general guidelines:

5k Cross Country:

  • Division I: < 15:30 minutes
  • Division II: < 16:00 minutes
  • Division III: < 16:30 minutes

1600m Track:

  • Division I: < 4:10 minutes
  • Division II: < 4:20 minutes
  • Division III: < 4:30 minutes

These times are competitive, and achieving them requires consistent training and dedication. It's important to note that these are minimum standards and the actual times needed to secure a full scholarship may vary. Coaches evaluate prospective student-athletes based on a range of factors, including their athletic performance, academic achievements, and overall character.
