Preferred Recruit Track and field recruiting Free evaluation

College recruiting for track and field.

We get high school track and field athletes in front of college track coaches. Our athletes have earned $10M+ in scholarships. We email the coaches for you, follow up for months, and help your family through every offer.

It takes about a minute to apply, then a recruiting advisor calls to go over your athlete’s marks, grades and goals. Both parents are welcome on the call.

$10,000,000+ in scholarships earned by our athletes *We filmed this video before we hit $10,000,000.*

Fast track athletes get missed.

Track coaches don’t come looking.

In football, coaches find athletes. In track and field, the athlete has to reach out first.

One email gets buried.

College track coaches get more emails than they can answer, so one email rarely gets a reply.

The window is short.

Track programs fill their spots earlier every year. Waiting for a call is often too late.

How it works.

01

A free evaluation call

We look at your athlete’s marks, grades and goals, and show you which college track programs fit.

02

Coaches hear from your athlete

We email the right event coaches from your athlete’s own inbox, then follow up after every new mark.

03

We guide every reply

We walk you through every call, visit and offer, and you see every coach reply, so you know who is interested.

  • Emails come from your athlete’s own inbox, the way coaches expect to hear from recruits.
  • The right event coach at each program, not a mass blast to every school.
  • Follow-ups after every new mark, for months, because the first email rarely gets the answer.
  • A team that works only with track and field, and went through recruiting themselves.

What families are texting us.

I just got my bill for the first semester and I was expecting to pay like $7K… my total balance due came out to $213. The scholarship covered basically everything.
Jacob B. Committed to Pitt
Nhandi and I had a call today with the coach and they made her an offer!!!!! 50% or $18K on tuition. If she jumps 40′ or 19′ this year it will bump to about 2/3 or ~$24K… We are excited!!!
Nhandi’s parent Triple jump and long jump
The speaker at the Summit told parents not to use recruiters, especially the big national companies, but gave you a shout out and said you were doing good work.
Track parent Pole Vault Summit attendee
It’s been amazing to watch his overall confidence grow throughout the process, talking to coaches, thinking about visits. Can’t thank you enough.
Chris Parent of Samuel B., Franklin Pierce University
The offer was really close to a full scholarship, which is almost unheard of nowadays. I would not be where I am without you.
Winston S. Committed to Davidson College
Before you guys I was only getting attention from smaller D3 and NAIA schools and never envisioned I would get to jump to D2 and D1 programs.

Questions parents ask.

Can’t we just get recruited on our own?

Some families do, and it takes hundreds of emails and follow-ups to the right coaches at the right time. We do that work for you from your athlete’s own inbox.

How do we know this will actually work?

You see every coach reply in your athlete’s inbox, so you know exactly who is interested.

We don’t think we need this yet. Can’t we wait?

Programs fill spots earlier every year, so time matters. Paolo joined in June and had a full ride two weeks later.

We’re doing fine without a service. Why change?

If coaches are already calling, keep going. If the inbox is quiet, more of the same won’t change it.

What if we pay and get no results?

You’re covered by our guarantee: guaranteed genuine interest or a full refund.

Who is it for?

High school track and field athletes whose marks already fit college programs, and the parents who want a real plan. Juniors and seniors get the most from it, because that’s when coaches build their lists.

Is my athlete fast enough?

That is what the free evaluation checks first. We look at your athlete’s marks, grades and goals and tell you which college track programs fit, before you decide anything. Our free resources show the standards for every program.
