Real Recruiting Standards · 2026-27 cycle

What it actually takes to run at Colby
NCAA Division III · NESCAC · ME
Colby signed 12 athletes for 2025-26. What follows are their real high-school marks, not a program’s published walk-on line — the honest answer to “would they recruit me?”
Colby is a 2,407-student private campus in Waterville, ME and competes in the NESCAC. Beers, Jared leads a staff of 4 covering 1 event group.
“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.
