Questions athletes and parents ask
Which D2 men's programs recruit the most multi-events athletes?
Northern State, West Texas AM, Harding, TAMU Kingsville, Chico State carry and sign well above the D2 average in multi-events (3% of a typical D2 roster). They have more roster spots in the event to fill every year.
Which D2 programs do not recruit multi-events?
149 D2 men's programs show no multi-events athletes racing and no signings in the event in the classes we hold, including Adams State, Alabama Huntsville, Albany State, Allen, American Intl, Anderson SC. A thin group there is not an opening.
Does a bigger share of the roster mean more scholarship money?
Colleges do not publish scholarships by event. Where a program spends its roster spots and its signings is the best public evidence of where the money goes, and a program that carries twice the division share in your event has roughly twice the seats to fill. Ask the coach about aid directly.
How is this calculated?
From each program's official outdoor results lists (who raced each event area, averaged over the seasons we hold), its signing classes (2025-26, 2026-27), its share of the division's top marks, and whether a paid coach is titled for the event. Each is compared with the D2 average and blended; a small class is pulled toward the average so one big year cannot fake a specialty.
