Real Recruiting Standards · 2026-27 cycle

What it actually takes to run at Idaho
NCAA Division I · Big Sky · ID
These aren’t published walk-on standards or estimates. They’re the real marks of the 20 athletes Idaho actually signed in its 2025-26 recruiting class — including 2 international signees. The honest answer to “would they recruit me?”
Idaho is a 9,269-student public campus in Moscow, ID and competes in the Big Sky. Tracy Hellman leads a staff of 5 covering 4 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.

Every verified mark in Idaho's 2025-26 class
18 of the 20 athletes signed have a verified high-school mark, shown here with the mark each was signed on. The other 2 have no verified mark on record, so they are left out rather than guessed. Not a published standard, not an estimate. Names, hometowns and the coach who recruited each athlete are the member view.
