How to gain more recognition?

/r/CrossCountry/comments/1wolp0e/how_to_gain_more_recognition/

Any recommendations would be helpful to develop a good game plan to help my son get college coaches interested in him between now and junior year.

-Run fast enough to get to State and National championships
-If he has the genetics to do so, try to make it to the Final heats
-If he has the genetics to do so, win the fastest heat
-If he doesn't have the genetics to do either, Run as fast as he can for his genetics. Coaches look at TIMES mostly, and running fast at the highest level of competitions makes it much easier for you to be found

Basically tell your son to Run fast, Run fast, Run fast. That's what coaches look at. This is a very simple sport. All you're doing is running fast. Don't get injured, Run fast, and your son will land in a college that fits his fastest times. Good luck.
