Syracuse

What it actually takes to run at Syracuse

NCAA Division I · ACC · NY

These aren’t published walk-on standards or estimates. They’re the real marks of the 15 athletes Syracuse actually signed in its 2025-26 recruiting class — including 1 international signee. The honest answer to “would they recruit me?”

Syracuse is a 15,739-student private campus in Syracuse, NY and competes in the ACC. Brien Bell leads a staff of 5 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.
