What it actually takes to run at UNC Pembroke
NCAA Division II · PBC · NC
UNC Pembroke signed 23 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?”
UNC Pembroke is a 5,330-student public campus in Pembroke, NC and competes in the PBC. Dr. Peter Ormsby leads a staff of 6 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.
