Real Recruiting Standards · 2026-27 cycle

What it actually takes to run at Buffalo
NCAA Division I · MAC · NY
These aren’t published walk-on standards or estimates. They’re the real marks of the 30 athletes Buffalo actually signed in its 2025-26 recruiting class — including 3 international signees. The honest answer to “would they recruit me?”
Buffalo is a 20,463-student public campus in Buffalo, NY and competes in the MAC. Vicki Mitchell leads a staff of 7 covering 5 event groups.
“Median” is the middle signee’s PR; “range” runs from the fastest to the slowest mark in the class. 1500m/Mile and 3000m are converted to 1600m/3200m for comparison. Pulled from verified meet results.
