The marks that matter
Coaches recruit your 100, 200, and 400 times, fully automatic. Roughly, D1 wants men under about 10.6 and women under 12.0 in the 100, with D2, NAIA, and D3 stepping down. Relay-useful 400 speed is always in demand.
Sprinters are recruited on raw, repeatable speed, and the marks are the first and biggest filter. Here is what it takes to get recruited as a sprinter, the events that carry the most value, and how to stand out.

Sprinters who can score across the 100, 200, 400, and relays are more valuable than one-event specialists, because they fill more lineup holes. A strong 400 leg in particular is gold for the 4x400.
Post fully automatic marks at meets coaches can verify, show you are still improving, and highlight relay value. Clean, fast starts and strong finishes on video help a coach see the speed is real and repeatable.
Sprint recruiting is a marks game. Film a sprint, the AI grades your start, drive phase, and top-end so you post the verifiable times that get you recruited.
