D1 track recruiting standards vary by program tier. SEC, Pac-12, and ACC programs recruit elite HS marks; mid-tier and low-D1 programs recruit varsity-state-class athletes. Below are the realistic standards for both. Pair with the college track recruiting timeline and how to make a track recruiting video guides for the full process.
These programs recruit state champions and national qualifiers. Boys: sub-10.5 100m, sub-21.0 200m, sub-46.5 400m, 24+ feet long jump, 7+ feet high jump, 17+ feet pole vault, 65+ feet shot put. Girls: sub-11.7, sub-23.5, sub-53.5, 20+ feet, 6+ feet, 14+ feet, 47+ feet.
Solid HS varsity marks: 10.7-11.0 100m boys, 21.5-22.0 200m, 48.5-49.5 400m, 22-24 ft long jump, 6'4"-6'8" high jump. Girls equivalents: 12.0-12.4, 24.5-25.0, 56.5-58.0, 18-19 ft, 5'4"-5'8".
Often 0.5-1.0 seconds slower than recruited standards. Walk-on opportunities exist at most D1 programs for athletes who hit varsity-state-meet standards.
Recruiting videos need clean technique to back up the marks. AI form check grades your sprint, jump, or throw so the video you send shows the upside, not just the time.

These are typical scholarship-class marks. Walk-on standards are usually 0.5-1.0 seconds slower in sprints, 6-12 inches lower in jumps.
