Real Recruiting Standards · 2026-27 cycle

What it actually takes to run at Ohio
NCAA Division I · MAC · OH
Ohio signed 13 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?”
Ohio is a 19,100-student public campus in Athens, OH and competes in the MAC. Sarah Pease leads a staff of 4 covering 3 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 Ohio's 2025-26 class
11 of the 13 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.
